Seeds of Plants for 

 Conservatory and House 



It is fascinating to raise these choice plants from seed, and many 

 of the finest varieties can be grown easily in the house. For winter 

 bloom the seed should be sown in shallow boxes or pans during the 

 spring or early summer. The finer seeds must not be covered more 

 than one-eighth inch deep, and the soil pressed closely down over 

 them. Never allow it to become bone-dry. Some varieties are more 

 surely started under a pane of glass and sheltered from the strong 

 rays of the sun. As soon as the plants have two leaves, they should 

 be transplanted into another pan or box, handling carefully.
