ANOTHER HARDY GARDEN BOOK 



Spring. First of all, there are the seeds to 

 be gathered for why incur the expense of 

 buying when those raised in your own gar- 

 den may be just as fine and much fresher 

 than those from the seed stores? Small card- 

 board or tin boxes, each with a pasted label 

 with the name of the seed it contains, are 

 the best in which to store the seeds. 



Gather the seeds from the plants into a 

 cigar box, and after carefully removing all 

 the husks and dead particles, transfer them 

 to the labeled boxes. Only enough of the 

 annuals should be allowed to form seed pods 

 to supply the quantity needed for sowing. 

 Among the seeds easiest to gather, and 

 surest to grow the following spring are 

 Asters, Balsams, Centaureas (Cornflowers), 

 Cosmos, Calendulas, Poppies of all kinds, 

 Marigolds, Nasturtiums, Sunflowers, Zin- 

 nias, Hollyhocks, Sweet Williams, Fox- 

 gloves, and Larkspurs. Sweet Peas should 

 not be allowed to form seed pods or they 

 will cease to blossom.
