CHAPTER IV 



HOW TO SUCCEED WITH SEEDS 



Creating a thing is always a more joy- 

 giving achievement than merely possessing it. 

 To get all the fun there is in glass gardening, 

 of course, it is essential to know how to grow 

 your own plants, as well as to take care of 

 them. 



To be skillful at the art of starting plants 

 from seed is to know the pleasure of feel- 

 ing that you can add at will to the variety 

 or the amount of the things in your glass 

 garden. 



Fortunately, when I had the problem of filling 

 the suddenly acquired greenhouse, I had had 

 some past experience in starting plants from seed 

 to fall back on. But I soon found that there 

 was a lot more to learn. 



What I learned from experience I wish, so far 

 as possible, to save another beginner from having 

 to experiment over. So in this chapter we are 

 going into details.
