STARTING SEED INDOORS. A month before you expect to set the started plants outdoors fill a flat wooden box one inch deep with coml 

 ashes or small stones and cover that with an inch of finely sifted rich soil. Sow the seed thinly, cover about one-eighth of an inch and press firmly. 

 Cover with a pane of glass and two thicknesses of newspaper to prevent too rapid evaporation. Keep in a temperature between 60° and 70° 

 and water regularly and carefully. When the seeds have germinated remove the glass. When large enough to handle, transplant one inch apart 

 in a similarly prepared box where they may be kept until time to set outdoors. (We supply small seed flats at 15 cts. each.) 



STARTING SEED OUTDOORS. A fine seed bed is necessary and the seed should not be planted deeper than four times their size. 



CLASSIFICATION. Annual flowers grow from seed, bloom, and die in one year. Biennials bloom the second year and die. Perennials live on 

 from year to year and generally do not bloom the same year the seed is planted. A signifies annual ; B biennial ; P perennial. R. G. means suit- 

 able for the rock garden.
