mOST flowering plants will live in almost any soil, but to give them a fair chance to develop, 

 some care should be taken to make the ground suited to their needs. Many flowers are 

 better if produced on plants of vigorous^ growth, hence a portion of the garden should be 

 prepared by deep digging, thorough pulverization and liberal enriching with large quantities of 

 well rotted manure. Since some other varieties produce the largest and finest colored flowers 

 when grown on rather light, poor soil, a portion of the garden should not be enriched. 



Cultural directions are given in the packets, and I urge purchasers to study them carefully 

 While some seeds need special treatment, the following general rules will apply to all. Make the 

 surface of the soil as fine, smooth, and level as possible; do not plant when the ground is wet; 

 cover each lot of seeds to a uniform depth, which should not be more than four or six times the 

 diameter of the seed; press the soil firmly over the seed; plant in rows, so that the starting plants 

 can be seen easily; thin out the young plants to prevent crowding and keep entirely free from 

 weeds.
