Lesson V 



To Prick Out Seedlings: Mix the soil 

 the same as for potting (Lesson III) . Put 

 the lumps in the bottom of the flat 

 and fill it the same as for sowing seed 

 (Lesson I). Begin at the left-hand comer 

 farthest from you. With a finger or a 

 dibble make a hole and lower the plant 

 into it, pressing the soil firmly about the 

 roots. Put the plants two inches apart 

 each way and the outside rows close to the 

 edge of the flat. Keep the rows straight 

 and put the same number in each flat. 

 Mark the kind of plant on a label and place 

 one in each flat.
