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 and then cover lightly 
with damp peat moss. Water frequently. A good plan is, sow the seeds in row’s 
about 8 inches apart, then transplant to the permanent garden later.
