** Always 
Dependable” 
ANNUAL FLOWERS are those which grow, bloom, seed and 
die in one season. There are attractive annuals for every 
purpose. Some are fine for cutting, others for beds or borders, 
rock plants and climbers. We have listed in Part 1 the finest 
of all Annuals, and the perennials which may be treated as 
annuals in that they will bloom the first season from seed. 
HARDY FLOWERS are those which may be sown in early spring as soon as 
the ground may be worked, or in fall to come up with the first breath of 
spring for earlier blooms. Hardy perennials and biennials may be planted 
in July or August and transplanted to permanent location about 1 month 
before frost where they live over with the protection of a mulch to give 
bloom in the spring. We think it best to sow perennials and biennials in 
the spring so that they can become better established before winter. 
HALF HARDY FLOWERS listed with the symbol hh may be started early in- 
doors for early bloom, or they may be planted outside when danger of frost 
is over. Half Hardy perennials need winter protection in the Northern states.
