Washing Seeds 



That "trifles make perfection'* is as true of gardening as 



of any other art. One of the trifles that is often neglected by 



the amateur — but never in Mr. BurbanlCs gardens — is the careful 



cleaning of the seeds, if necessary by washing, to minimize 



danger of injury from fungous growths or insects, and 



to guard against the inclusion of foreign 



seeds or impurities of any kind.
