GROWING FLOWERS FROM SEED 
After selecting the portion of your garden in which you wish to plant 
flowers, pay particular attention to the preparation of the soil. If you will 
refer to page two you will find some information that will help in this, al¬ 
though, of course, the ground will be spaded instead of ploughed. Work the 
soil deeply and make the top three or four inches as fine and loose as possible. 
It is well to apply a liberal coating of well rotted manure and spade in, in the 
fall. In the spring work the soil as early as possible and apply commercial 
fertilizer as a top dressing (see commercial fertilizer page 2). Much weed killing 
can be done before planting. 
Sowing the seed Refer to the table on page 86; nearly all flowers 
a do well in sunny locations, a few can be grown in 
the shade. Most flowers can be grown by sowing 
the seed as soon as the soil has become warm and danger of all frost is over. 
Many of the finer seeds can be sown in the house in boxes or flats. The soil 
used should be composed of about equal parts leaf mold, sharp sand and 
good garden soil. The bottom of the flat may be covered with a layer of coarse 
cinders, broken pots or some such material and the prepared soil finely sifted 
to fill up the balance of the box within about an inch of the top. Place in a 
window where exposed to the sun and cover with a pane of glass to retard 
evaporation. Water carefully with a fine spray, keeping the soil moist but not 
wet. Remove the glass as soon as the seeds begin to sprout. When the plants 
are a couple of inches high, they should be thinned, allowing at least two 
inches apart each way. The plants pulled may be transplanted to other boxes, 
later to be reset in the open ground. 
Depth of Planting The old ruling is to plant seeds to a depth of about 
twice their diameter. Fine seeds may be pressed 
into the soil with a flat board, and a very little soil 
sprinkled over them. Do not plant too deeply. Larger seeds of course, will 
stand deeper planting. Construct a shade to keep off the burning rays of the 
sun and prevent crusting, also to avoid the seed being washed away by rains. 
Hi-caps set close together over the seed row make an excellent shade. See 
Page 80. Be sure to mark all rows where you sow the seed so you will know 
what you have planted and where. 
To Grow Extra Large Thin so the plants are twelve to fifteen inches apart 
Zinnia** row anc * P^ ace the rows three feet apart for 
nnias the giant types and two feet apart for the small 
varieties. Plant the seed one-half inch deep, twenty 
to twenty-five seeds to the foot of row. 
Do not plant until all danger from frost is past and do not plant nearer any 
trees than the height of the tree. Never plant where they will be shaded. 
They do the best on very rich soil. Cultivate and water frequently. Dust the 
ground with finely ground sulphur when the plants are beginning to bud at the 
rate of one-half pound to the square rod to avoid mildew.
