Culture of Flower Seeds. 



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

 border in the months of April and May, or as soon as the soil becomes dry 

 and easily crumbled, after the spring frost has disappeared. They may also 

 be sown in prepared beds of light, rich soil, and transplanted into the gar- 

 den. 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 gen- 

 eral rule is to cover fine seed very lightly, just enough to protect them from the 

 sun; and in extremely 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.
