ANNUALS FURNISH COLOR BEAUTY
FOR FALL WINTER GARDENS

Elaborate coronation cere-
monies at the Catholic Parish
In areas of Texas with open
winters, annual flowering plants
are a must for fall and winter
color in the garden, although
prevailing temperatures must
be carefully considered.
Day temperatures during Oct-
ober and November and even
early December seem to be ideal
for good plant growth and
development. As the season pro-
gresses into December, however,
night temperatures may drop
so low that they will prevent
flowering on many annual
plants.
To insure good winter
blooming on annuals, plant
them early enough in the fall
to develop good flower buds be-
fore low night temperatures
slow down or stop their growth.
There are a considerable
number of annuals, and peren-
nials treated as such, that are
well adapted to fall and winter
gardens. Each plant has its own
growth limits during cold
nights; plants used for fall and
winter flowering can be placed
into groups based upon their
response to climatic conditions.
Pansies and other species of
Viola can withstand almost any
climatic condition in fall and
winter gardens. They can en-
dure freezing weather, need low
temperatures to set flower buds,
and will continue to bloom
through the fall and winter re-
gardless of most weather
changes.
Stocks and snapdragons are
another group of winter garden
favorites that are in a class by
themselves. While these annuals
survive temperatures as low as
18 to 20 degrees F., they need
the warm days and nights of
October and November to pro-
duce good early growth and
should be in bud stage by the
end of November at the latest.
Another cool-season annual,
Calendula, also responds well
to climatic conditions in fall and
winter gardens. In areas void
of heavy frosts with mild win-
ters, fibrous rooted begonias,
cinerarias, fiery primroses, gaz-
anias and other annuals can
provide extensive bloom during
the cool spring months, even
though they may be damaged
slightly during winter cold
spells.
Violas and pansies should be
available soon from nurseries
and should be planted when
purchased. These come in sep-
arate and in mixed colors with
numerous selections of flower
size and abundance of bloom.
This year a wide selection of
snapdragons should be available
for almost any garden purpose.
The newer, All-American win-
ner Rochet types are tall grow-
ing plants with long flower
spikes but are more suited to
summer gardens in Texas. Best
choice in the coastal area for
fall and winter gardens are the
tall growing Tetra types, now
available in separate colors of
white, rose, red, pink, copper
and yellow, as well as mixed.
For medium height plants
from 18 to 24 inches, consider
United Sprites. They do not
need staking and are available
in mixed colors.
Magic Carpet strains are ex-
tremely well suited for low,
dwarf garden effects. A newer
dwarf strain introduced this
year is Floral Carpet, growing
only eight inches tall.
Stocks for fall planting should
be available in two well known
strains. The Dwarf Ten Week
is useful for mass planting or
for planting in flower borders;
plants are available in separate
colors. Also well suited to fall
and winter gardens is the Try-
somic Hi-Double. This is a tall
growing branching strain that
produces a high percentage of
double-flowered plants and is
offered in single colors or in
mixtures.
The newer trend toward the
use of various vegetables in
garden plantings should not be
overlooked in fall or winter
gardens. Parsley and lettuce
make good low border subjects;
carrots and beets can be used
as intermediate effects. Green-
curled endive and red swiss-
chard can be mixed into the
border where taller accents are
needed.
These annuals should be
planted as early as possible so
that they will be well establish-
ed before the cold nights of De-
cember occur.
