ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS 
Annual flowers are those which grow, bloom, seed and die in one season. They are attractive in 
the garden — some for bedding, some for borders, some for rock gardens, some for climbing or 
trailing and others for their foliage effect only. Many are invaluable for cutting. There are annual 
flowers for every purpose; all are lovely and with proper selection, blooms can be had from early 
summer until frost. See page 44 for Perennial Flowers.
