A Descriptive List of 
Selected Flower Seeds 
Flowers are so inexpensive, and so easy to have, that they are not generally appreciated in proportion to what they 
do to make a place comfortable and beautiful. Even one or two sorts near a house, the small ones in beds and the 
larger plants standing alone, will do wonders toward lighting the place up and making it more homelike. 
Sow the seeds either broadcast or in rows, and cover lightly—a good general rule is to cover four to six times the 
size of the seeds—and press the soil firmly. Small seeds cannot come up if covered too deep. Very fine seeds should 
be sown on the surface and pressed into the soil. To have the earliest blooms, flowers that stand transplanting should 
be sown early in boxes indoors. Water with a fine spray, do not let the soil dry out, do not keep the plants satur¬ 
ated. When three or four leaves have formed, transplant one inch apart in boxes, or in the open ground if warm 
enough. The soil best suited to flowers is a light, rich loam, made as fine and smooth as possible. Many seeds are 
very small and require a fine seed-bed.
