CHAPTER III
ОглавлениеFlowers that Must be Renewed Every Year—(Annuals)
And 'tis my faith that every flower enjoys the air it breathes.
Wordsworth.
If you want flowers that grow quickly, plant annuals! Some will bloom within six weeks, so if you can help out meantime with some transplanted roots and bulbs, you will have flowers from the first of the season.
"Plant thickly," says one writer. "It is easier and more profitable to grow flowers than weeds."
The following annuals can be sown outdoors late in April, as far North as New York, in ordinary seasons—only remember that those marked with a * do not like to be transplanted:—
| Alyssum |
| Aster |
| Candytuft |
| Chrysanthemum (Annual) |
| Coreopsis (Annual) |
| Cosmos |
| Godetia |
