GERMINATING PERENNIALS 
BY FREEZING 
Certain species of perennials require 
freezing before germinating, such as 
Trollius, Dictamnus, Primulas, Perennial 
Phlox and Lilies. A quick method: Half 
fill ice-cube tray of refrigerator with 
water, place the seeds in compartments; 
freeze; then fill pan to top and freeze for 
several days. Then thaw out and sow 
in usual way. 
TO SPROUT 
SLOW GERMINATING SEEDS 
Certain flower species require 30 days to 
a year to germinate. After sowing seeds 
in flat or pan, cover to 4 times its thick¬ 
ness, water thoroughly, mulch with peat 
moss, place in shaded spot outdoors, with 
good circulation of air, during Spring, 
Summer and Fall; water sufficiently to 
prevent drying out. During Winter, move 
to sheltered spot near house or cold- 
frame and cover with leaves; eventually 
they will sprout, then transplant.

LEGUME CULTURE (Seed Inoculation) 
Jelly. All legumes—clovers, alfalfa, beans,

yield far better crops if seed is inocu¬ 
lated with Legume Culture, and a heavy 
deposit of nitrogen will be left in the 
soil for the benefit of succeeding crops 
by the nodules formed on their roots. 
For soybeans, cowpeas, vetches, field 
peas and beans, bus. size 30c; 2 bus. size 
50c; 5 bus. size $1.00.
