PLANT PROPAGATION 



PSow in open ground after danger from frost is over. In bed* of well- pulverized soil. 

 Plants should remain where sown, as they will not stand transplanting unless done 

 with extraordinary care. Thin out carefully, so as not to disturb the remaining plants 

 more than necessary. For succession of blooms, two or three sowings may be made at 

 intervals during summer. 



QTo get good sized plants for planting cut in the spring, sow seed in flats in green- 

 house, hotbed, or light window of dwelling as soon after January first as possible. 

 in light soil, in temperature averaging 60 degrees. Cover, firm. Transplant to similar 

 flats 1 inch apart. When large enough, pot in 2V4-inch pots. Plant in open ground alter 

 danger from frost is over. 



SSow in flats of light soil, in temperature of 70 degrees, in greenhouse, or light window 

 of dwelling. Merely press seed into soil. Always water with fine spray, so as not to 

 disturb the surface. Place pane of glass over top, but allow a little space for ventilation. 

 Put flats in shaded place. Transplant to similar flats and pot off when large enough. 



TSow in spring in greenhouse, hotbed, or light window of dwelling, where temperature 

 will average 60 degrees. Use flats of light soil. Cover. Transplant seedlings 1 inch 

 apart in flats. When 1 or 2 inches, pot in 2% -inch flats, and shift to larger ones as 

 needed, or plant in open ground, where plants will form flowering clumps for fall and 

 winter. 



USow out of doors after danger from frost, and, for succession, at intervals during 

 summer. For early flowering, sow in greenhouse, hotbed, or south or southeast 

 window of dwelling, in flats, with average temperature of 60 degrees. Transplant to 

 similar flats and plant seedlings in open after danger from frost is past. Also sow in 

 garden in May in light soil: cover, firm, and water with flne spray. 



VSow out of doors after danger from frost 's over, in beds of finely pulverized soil. 

 Cover with light soil and firm. Thin out when necessary. Plant in permanent 

 position as soon as seeds are large enough, so they may become firmly rooted or established 

 before cold weather; or sow in early fall, carry plants over in cold frame, and transplant 

 to permanent position in spring.
