This is the first year thatt he Floral Society has o ffere d prizes to children on flowers they have raised themselves. As you no doubt noted, we advise them not to try to raise more plants than they can take good care o f and suggested annuals. O f course, cannas and chrysanthemums are classed as annuals, but the secretary of the society and I think that it takse some practice in gardening to successfully raise these plants here. Chrysanthemums need L m L nni T " “ /li “ i , ?ften taken bV ear|y frost, so that we d ?e thei ch,ld1r.en ,to try them this year. Calendulas grow here easily and quickly from seed.
