HINTS ON SOWING.— The sowing of Flower Seeds should commence about the middle or end of March—not earlier, or the 
plants of Half-hardy Annuals and Biennials will get drawn and spoiled before they can be planted out. In sowing the seed of Half-hardy 
Annuals, Biennials, and Perennials, rough siftings of soil should always half fill the seed pot or pan, just a few pieces of broken pot over 
(he hole at the bottom being then sufficient to ensure an outlet for the water; the upper portion may consist of any light soil, finely sifted. 
Always water the soil in the seed pots or pans, and let them stand for two or three hours before sowing. Sow thinly, and barely cover 
the seeds (such fine seeds as Lobelia and Petunia are better covered with a slight sprinkling of fine sand only). Stand the pots at first in 
any position in heat, where they can be shaded, but when the plants are well up keep near the glass and prick out as required into pans, 
boxes, or under handlights. Many of the Half-hardy Annuals, if carefully sown outdoors about the middle of May, in well-prepared soil, 
will give excellent results, but will not flower so early as those raised under glass. Hardy Annuals may be sown in the open ground from 
March to May. Biennials and Perennials from June to August. The same care should be exercised in sowing in the open ground as is 
recommend for pots, etc.
