General Planting Suggestions 
Light, rich loamy soil is best suited to flowers. If the soil is of a heavy nature, 
add sand or peat moss and a liberal scattering of air-slacked lime to form a 
better texture. Prepare the soil as fine and smooth as possible. The depth of 
planting flower seeds is very important. Very fine seeds should be planted on 
the surface and pressed into the soil, then sprinkle over the surface a light mulch 
to aid germination. Medium sized seeds should be planted V 4 to V2 inch deep, 
while larger seeds such as Sweet Peas, should go deeper. A light mulch should 
be spread over all seeds planted, as it is the best method of keeping the soil 
moist and cool. Water with a fine spray to avoid washing the soil from the 
seeds. When large enough, thin young plants from 2 to 12 inches apart, de¬ 
pending on the variety. Give them plenty of room to develop, allow plenty of 
moisture and good drainage and the results will surprise you.
