 ■Much care must be used in sowing 

 fine Flower Seed ; so many times 

 they are buried instead of planted.

 i boxes and transplanted. 

 Care should always be taken not 

 plant too deep, and at the same 

 time see that the soil may come in contact with the 

 ■seed. It is well to cover the soil with moss or new 

 to keep the soil moist and in condition until 

 I rmination of the seed is assured, then remove 

 the covering -with care, and not during the sunny 

 part of the day, but in the afternoon, so as not to sun- 

 ie tender young growth.
