'A true repose of the soil is a change of its products.*" 



SEED 



Seeds germinate more quickly if soaked in 

 warm water over night. This is true of all 

 seeds having a hard shell as corn, peas, egg- 

 plant, etc. Sow seed in shallow trenches in 

 heavy soil and in deeper trenches in light soil. 

 Cover small seeds with light covering of soil. 



Large seeds can be planted three or four 

 inches deep. Always press the soil down over 

 the seed after planting. Small seeds like let- 

 tuce should be sown broadcast in bed and the 

 rake used to press the soil down over the seeds 

 after planting. It is best to keep seeds in paper 

 packages, as paper absorbs the moisture.
