TESTED

STARTING SEED IN- 

 DOORS. A month be- 

 fore you expect to set 

 the started plants out- 

 doors fill a flat wooden 

 box one inch deep with 

 coal 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 degrees and water 

 regularly and carefully. 

 When the seeds have 

 germinated remove the 

 glass. When large 

 enough to handle, trans- 

 plant one inch apart in 

 a similarly prepared box 

 where they may be kept 

 until time to set out- 

 doors. 



The Best Seed 

 That Can Be 

 Produced 



STARTING SEED 

 OUTDOORS. A fine seed 

 bed is necessary and the 

 seed should not be 

 planted deeper than four 

 times their size. Special 

 cultural directions on 

 each package of seed. 



CLASSIFICATION. 



Annual flowers are those 

 which grow from seed, 

 bloom, produce seed and 

 die in one year. Bien- 

 nials 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, sig- 

 nifies annual ; B, bien- 

 nial ; P, perennial.
