THE COMPOSITE ANNUALS 83 



Growing Plants Indoors 



Sow seeds of dwarf marigold in a window box, cover- 

 ing lightly. 



When the plants have two true leaves in addition to 

 the seed leaves, transplant into small paper flower pots, 

 one for each pupil. 



Let pupils water and care for the plants until they 

 bloom. Then let each take his own home. 



Growing Seedlings (Spring) 



Sow seeds of both types of marigolds in the school 

 garden early in May. 



Keep the soil moist and free from weeds. 



When the seedlings have two or three true leaves, let 

 such pupils as have places to grow flowers take the seed- 

 lings home to transplant in their home gardens. 



Make drawings for the flower booklet.
