SOWING FLOWER SEEDS 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Light, rich loam is most suit¬ 
able 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 rows about 8 
inches apart, then transplant to the permanent garden later.
