CHAPTER VIII 

 SOWING SEEDS INDOORS 



MANY who live where it is warmer than at my 

 home will be ready to start some of their plants in 

 January, and in fact most all of us can start some 

 in February. 



If we want early plants, they must be started 

 indoors in the snowy north. We cannot plant all 

 our seeds indoors, because some plants, you will re- 

 member, cannot be moved but must stay where they 

 first start to grow. 



The flower seeds we can sow indoors are pansies, 

 dahlias, asters, nasturtiums (if you live where the 

 season is short and cold), phlox, morning glories 

 and marigolds ; but I would not advise you to plant 

 any of these indoors except pansies and dahlias, 

 unless you live far north. 



Of the vegetable seeds, the most important to 

 plant in the house are tomatoes, early cabbage and 

 peppers. These indoor plants are going to have a 

 hard time because they must be moved one or two 

 times, so we are going to do all we can to help them 



along.
