Florida flower gardens depend largely on 
annuals for color throughout the year. 
In the following pages we list and describe 
47 kinds of annual flowers which we recom- 
mend for Florida as a result of many years 
of experimental work and testing under Flor- 
ida growing conditions. We have found these 
to be best adapted to conditions of climate, 
soil, rainfall, etc. in Florida, which conditions 
are widely different from those in northern 
states. For your convenience, you will find 
the flowers listed alphabetically by common 
names.

Alyssum 
Plant from September thru April 
Approx. time seed sowing to bloom—114 mos. 
Grows 6 to 8 inches high 
Of close, compact growth, and even in 
height, Alyssum makes a desirable Florida 
winter border or edging plant, covered with 
tiny flowers which form a compact, showy 
carpet lasting for months during the winter 
season, if kept cut back. Set plants in garden 
or thin to 6 inches apart in 1 foot rows. 
LITTLE GEM (WHITE)—Small white flow- 
ers completely cover the dwarf, compact 
plants. Wonderful for edgings, of easy cul- 
ture and extremely hardy.

ROYAL CARPET—This Alyssum is very 
dwarf, growing only 2 to 3 inches tall and 10 
inches across. Makes a sheet of rich, deep 
blue-purple color and the flowers make a 
solid mass so thick it’s hard to see any green 
leaves. Ideal for edging paths and flower 
beds or for mass planting, such as on a hill 
slope. For continuous bloom shear the full 
grown plants lightly.

ers, which are not listed, write The Kilgore

your desires and ask us to quote you prices. 
“Time to Plant” indicated under each

North Florida, many kinds will not withstand 
the winter cold, and this fact should be taken 
into consideration with reference to time of 
planting.
