Annual gardening PLANTS classed as annuals are those
which complete their life cycle within the space of
one year and in this group we find some of our most
useful garden flowers. We also commonly place in this
class a few flowers such as the snapdragons (antirrhinum)
and the ageraturns which are not true annuals but which
are best handled as such.
The annuals have many uses.
They are indispensable in the cutting garden, giving
a wealth of bloom throughout the summer and early autumn
months; they are of value in the herbaceous border,
coming into flower after the first riot of spring bloom
has passed, and carrying gallantly on through the heat
of midsummer when many of the perennials are quiescent;
and if a garden is to be but a temporary affair, to
be enjoyed for the space of but a single season, the
annuals may be used as the only material in the planting
scheme. For window boxes and porch boxes, for potted
plants on the terrace or on the low coping of a wall,
for the indoor window garden, and for winter bloom in
the small greenhouse the annuals can hardly be equaled.
We will provide a listing
