CHAPTER XI SOME FAVORITE ANNUALS A few Annuals may well be added to these lists. Even though Annuals must be planted every Spring, there are many worth the trouble; in fact, a garden would look lonesome without some of the old favorites. A very convenient arrangement is to give one bed in the vegetable garden to the starting of Annuals. The plants may be moved, when some size, to the hardy garden, near the place of some of the Perennials which die down; for instance, hyacinths, tulips, and other bulbs. Indeed, those having short roots may be placed directly over the bulbs after their leaves have withered and dried. A border of low-growing Annuals along the vegetable beds makes the vegetable garden a place of beauty. If you live where there is snow in Winter, in order to have early Summer blooms, the seeds must be started early, under glass protection, in a sunny window, or in a hotbed. A box with a glass cover is a good substitute for a hotbed. If the seeds of Annuals are planted out of doors, they rarely bloom before Mid-Summer, while many Perennials, which have been out all Winter, bloom in early Spring. Select from the following lists the flowers which from the description are most pleasing to you. LIST OF FIFTEEN ANNUALS (All may be raised from seeds. They do not “winter over.”)
