242 MAKING OF A FLOWER GARDEN 



TABLE OF GERMINATION OF SEEDS 



In thefoUowing table it wiU be noticed that certain flowers appear 

 in two or more sections. When this occurs the first section indicates 

 the shortest time in which perfectly fresh vigorous seed, planted in 

 awarmhotbedor in fiats in the hov,se or greenhouse should appear. The 

 longer time is required by less vigorous seed sown under less favorable 

 conditions and in the open ground. Self-sown seed in the open 

 ground will vswdly not appear until much later than the same seed 

 sown in a prepared seed-bed, and weeks later than seed sown in 

 hotbed or other protected position.
