Stokes 9 Choice Seeds for Conservatory and House 



It is very fascinating work to raise these choice plants from seed, and many of the finest varieties can be easily grown in the house, with 

 care and attention. 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 them very carefully.
