Bolgiano's "Capitol City" Flower Seeds 



43 



Our flower seed is the product of the best growers of the world. In addition to our fine home grown seed, we import 

 many rare varieties from famous European and Oriental growers. All seed is carefully given a germination test before 

 it goes out to our customers, so one may be sure that his, labors will not be in vain if the seed is properly planted. 



STARTING SEED INDOORS. A month before you expect to set the started plants outdoors 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° 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. 



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.
