SOWING FLOWER SEEDS 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Light, rich loam is most suitable for flowers. The 
soil should be finely pulverized for best results. This is of paramount importance 
if one wishes to grow them successfully. They, in common with all other seeds, 
should be sown thinly and the soil pressed firmly over them when covered. Water 
frequently. A good plan is, sow the seeds in rows about 8 inches apart, then trans¬ 
plant to the permanent garden later.
