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. 
All Prices on Flower Seeds are Postage Paid
