Pricking Out Yotine Plants. 



The stage at which the plants require 

 to be pricked over from the seed flats 

 will depend a good deal on how thick the 

 seedlings have come up. Unfortunately 

 this cannot always be regulated by the 

 amount of seed sown as the percentage 

 of germination varies; and to insure a 

 good start we are apt to put in more 

 seed than is advisable were the seeds all 

 sure to germinate. If they come up rath- 

 er thinly, they will not require to be 

 handled so early as in the case where 

 they are so thick that there is danger of 

 becoming drawn through overcrowding. 

 In this latter instance they should be 

 pricked over just as soon as they are 

 large enough to handle. The flats for 

 pricking over should be about three 

 inches deep, and should be filled pretty 

 well up to the top with soil. The soil 

 used should be moderately rich, and

chopped up to avoid lumps, but 

 screening is unnecessary, unless in the 

 case of handling very small plants, when 

 a layer of screened soil on the surface 

 will be found advantageous, as the hole 

 made by the dibble will be more clearly 

 defined. The little plants should be lifted 

 carefully, to retain as many of the roots 

 as possible, and inserted well down to 

 the lower leaves. In firming the plants, 

 it is important that the pressure should 

 be made a little away from the plant, 

 that the soil may be firmed around the 

 roots, and not around the necks only. 

 Regarding the distance at which the 

 plants should be set, it is customary to 

 set them one inch apart, but this I con- 



sider only about half the distance that 

 should be allowed. One and one-half 

 inches is little enough, and it is much 

 better to give two inches each way. This 

 allows the plants space to develop nicely 

 without becoming drawn; and by the 

 time they begin to crowd one another 

 they are just a nice size for planting in 

 the beds. 



Water should be given soon after the 

 planting is finished, but the quantity 

 must be regulated to the moisture al- 

 ready contained in the soil. It is poor 

 policy to soak the soil through and 

 through, as it will be some time before 

 the plants will be sufficiently established 

 to utilize much moisture; and, if made
