Sow seed indoors in well drained, shallow pans or boxes 

 from April to last of July, to insure flowering the following 

 winter. For best results use finely sifted leaf mold, loam 

 and sand in equal parts. Cover slightly and place the pans 

 in a temperature of about 60° F. Water with a fine spraj^.
