The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners 
Daniels’ Choice Florists’ Flower Seeds. 
Sow in February or March in pots or pans of light rich soil, 
covering the seeds to the depth of about one-eighth of an inch, 
and place in a heat of about sixty-five or seventy degrees. Pot 
off the youilg plants singly into small pots, and shift into larger 
as these fill with roots. With liberal treatment these will bloom 
the first year, and, although many will not be up to the standard 
of first-class florists’ flowers, some really beautiful varieties may 
be expected from a good strain of seed, and all will be found 
well worth the small amount of time and trouble expended. 
Seeds may also be sown iu July and August for bloomiug the 
following Spring.
