General Cultural Directions 
The well known annual flow¬ 
ers, such as Sweet Alyssum, 
Calliopsis, Calendula, Mari¬ 
gold, Mignonette, Nasturtiums, 
etc., sow where they are in¬ 
tended to flower, either in lines or beds, cover¬ 
ing not over four times their size, and firming 
the soil over them. For those which should be 
started indoors, such as Heliotrope, Celopsia, 
Lobelia, Salvia, Vinca, Verbena, etc., the best 
plan is to sow in boxes, covering about one-eighth 
of an inch and pressing firmly; covering with a 
pane of glass and keep in a temperature between 
60 and 70 degrees. Water carefully as needed. 
Transplant into boxes, an inch apart each 
way, or put into small pots until time to 
plant out. They should have an abundance 
of air.
