INDEX AND GERMINATION TABLE 
W HEN sowing seeds it is always best to divide the packets and sow at different times. Note the 
time and give good care until the plants have had time to appear. Figures here indicate pages, and 
letters indicate, as per key, the time needed for germination. Do not condemn seeds until you have 
given them at least two or three trials. Those marked z will often lie dormant for a year or more. Seeds of 
Trees and Shrubs should be sown in a retired bed which will not be disturbed for two or three years. Some 
will start in a reasonable time and can be removed. Germination, however, is variable and more or less tardy.
