STARTING IN-DOORS. 



1. Sow the seed in seed-boxes late in March. Water and 



keep in a warm place. 



2. When the seedlings have one or two true leaves in addi- 



tion to the seed-leaves, transplant into two-and-one- 

 half-inch paper pots, and place in a warm, sunny 

 situation; or plunge in soil of cold-frame. Give as 

 much air and light as possible, and water often 

 enough to keep the soil moist, but not wet.
