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, m 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 m rows about 8 
inches apart, then transplant to the permanent garden later.
