SEED GROWERS 
Choice Flower Seed 
Most flowers are as easy to grow as vege' 
tables. The same practices that promote the 
growth of grains, vegetables and fruit apply 
to flowers. The same fertilizer it is well to 
use generously. Practically all flowers stand 
transplanting. Window boxes or hotbeds 
are good places in which to cradle the baby 
plants. The stored energy of seed is often 
somewhat in proportion to the seed’s thick' 
ness, not its size. Cover the seed four times 
its least diameter. Drained, moist, warm, 
mellow soil should be the flowers’ home; 
not soil that is wet or soil that bakes. True, 
there are plants that are difficult to grow, 
but these plants are few and respond to what 
we know to be ideal conditions for plants. 
Flowers fall readily into three classes: 
Annuals bloom, mature, seed and die the 
first year. 
Biennials bloom and die in their second 
year; some of them give us bloom in the 
first year. 
Perennials flower for several years and 
some of them may bloom in the first year 
of their existence.
