Word of Caution ! 



In sowing all flower seeds be careful 

 not to sow too deep. Seeds of the size 

 of Asters, Balsams, etc., should not be 

 sown over an eighth of an inch deep, 

 while smaller seeds, such as Petunias, 

 Portulacca, Pansy, etc., should barely 

 be covered. Larges seed, such as Sweet 

 Peas, Cannas, Nasturtiums, etc., can 

 be safely planted about 2 inches deep. 

 After sowing all flower seed should be 

 covered with finely sifted dirt, then 

 pressed down neatly and carefully. I 

 urgently request a trial order from 

 those who have not sown my seeds, and 

 am confident that they will become reg- 

 ular customers.
