Culture of Flower Seeds. 



Provided the soil is in a proper state, flower seed may be sown in the 

 open border in the month of April and May, or as .soon as the soil 

 becomes dry and easily crumbled, after the spring frost has disap- 

 peared. They may also be sown in prepared beds of light rich soil, and 

 transplanted into the garden. The former is the more simple method 

 but not always as satisfactory. The better plan is to sow all fine seed 

 under glass in the house, hot-bed or in a green-house. As to the depth 

 to which seed should be covered, the best general rule is to cover fine 

 seed very lightly, just enough to protect them from the sun: and in ex- 

 tremely dry weather a sprinkling of damp moss is very useful. With very 

 fine seed it is best to sow on the surface, and press them lightly into the 

 soil. We are convinced that one of the most frequent causes of failure 

 is in sowing the seed too deep, and seedmen are unjustly censured, when 

 fault lies with the cultivator. 



Explicit ctiltural directions are printed on all our packets of flower and 

 vegetable seeds. U'ith that help you are sure of success, '
