CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 



The seed of plants that you wish to get started early can easily be sown in-doors, in shallow boxes or seed pans, not over 

 three inches deep. About one inch of rough material like coal ashes should be placed in the bottom, and on top of this another 

 inch of fine sifted soil consisting of one-third each of sand, leaf mould and garden loam. After the surface has been smoothed 

 and lightly pressed, sow the seed evenly and cover with more soil to a depth of about twice the diameter of the seed. Then press 

 firmly and water. Cover with a pane of glass, keep in a temperature of about 65 degrees and water carefully as needed. As the 

 seeds grow, the glass can be removed and the plants transplanted into small pots from which they are afterwards planted m the 

 open ground. When sowing seed out-doors, the ground should be thoroughly spaded and raked until the top is as smooth and tine 

 as possible. The seeds should be covered three or four times their diameter in order to prevent rams from washing them out. uo 

 not sow until all danger of frost is over, about May fifteenth in Baltimore.
