Colors in Annuals by L. M. Bennington
Advice on choosing annuals for summer color urges mass planting of single species for strong effect. Favor carnations, roses, calliopsis, single dahlia forms, and chrysanthemum flowered asters for cut flowers and consistency. For seeds, choose one or two best colors rather than mixed packets to ensure finest specimens and reliable performance.
