Sprengeri they should be spread out thin- 

 ly in a shallow box and placed in a dry 

 and fairly warm position for about a 

 month. A shelf in a greenhouse is a 

 good place for such seeds as these, provid- 



ed it is secure from mice and also is pro- 

 tected from drip from the roof. 



After this period of curing is finished, 

 the seeds may be sown in flats of good 

 soil, pressing the seeds into the surface 

 of the soil with a small piece of board 

 and then covering them with about one- 

 fourth inch of sand. The soU should be 

 kept moist and the flats should be placed 

 in a greenhouse where a temperature of 

 65 degrees is kept. Under these condi- 

 tions the seeds should germinate soon and 

 well. W. H. T.
