Germination Table, with Index to Flower Seeds 
It is important to know the approximate time required by seeds for germination in order to sow them with satisfaction and 
success. Many seeds are condemned and neglected before they have had sufficient time to start. Always divide the packages and 
w at different times. You can then give them a second or third trial. Sow seeds that start about the same time together. Keep 
e seed-box or bed moist, bui not wet, and do not let the soil dry out until the seeds have had ample time to germinate. (See Self- 
yatering Boxes, page 86.) Seeds are influenced by conditions, and the plants may appear 25 per cent earlier or 25 per cert later 
than the table indicates, according to circumstances. Following is the page reference and the key to germination: a, 5 days, b, 
8 days, etc. The star (*) added means that the seeds may take much longer time than stated, some lying dormant for weeks or 
months before starting.
