paratus, in which by a system of warm water circulation beneath we can 
regulate the temperature to any degree desired. Most varieties will 
germinate freely in what we call the blotter plan, by simply scattering a 
few seeds between a folded piece of blotting paper, and placing them in 
the warm tester. Other varieties refuse to respond to this treatment. 
These we test in soil the same as planting. 
Selling Seeds to the General Public 
We frequently receive letters from people not interested in Children’s 
Gardening, asking if they may order seeds for their own planting. In 
this connection we wish to say that we are not doing a general seed busi¬ 
ness. Our work is supplying Penny-packet Seeds for educational pur¬ 
poses. Seedsmen generally approve our work, believing that the educa¬ 
tion of the children in gardening will result in greater demand for their 
goods. We therefore ask that persons not directly interested in children’s 
gardening, order their seeds from one of the many trustworthy seedsmen. 
Seeds in Quantity for Free Distribution 
To Civic Leagues, Women’s Clubs, or other organizations wishing to 
purchase seeds in quantity for distribution, we will supply them in quan¬ 
tities of not less than one thousand packets, each variety packed separ¬ 
ately, at $9.00 per thousand. Three thousand or more at $8.75 per 
thousand, and five thousand or more at $8.50 per thousand, all delivery 
charges prepaid. These prices however will not prevail where we are 
required to fill the small individual orders, or where teachers select pre¬ 
mium seeds. For further information and terms, see pages 20 to 23.
