well filled with fresh seed of strong germination, strictly true

DAMPING OFF—This results from lack of ventilation. In all 
closed rooms there accumulates gas heavier than air called 
carbon dioxide. To prevent damping off, ventilate. In the 
greenhouse never place flats with seedlings on the bare 
ground, keep them on supports 6-12 inches high so that they 
will be above the carbon dioxide layer.
