BUCHANAN’S FLOWER SEEDS 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS are printed on the packets. By following them almost any person 
will have fair success in the culture of flowers. While some seeds need special treatment, the follow¬ 
ing general rules will apply to all: Make the surface of the soil as fine, smooth and level as possible; 
do not plant when the ground is wet; cover each lot of seeds to a uniform depth, which should not 
be more than four or six times the diameter of the seed; press the soil firmly over the seed; plant in 
rows so that the starting plants can be seen easily, thin out the young plants to prevent crowding 
and keep entirely free from weeds. Never allow the seedlings to suffer from drouth.
