Flower Seeds 
Cultural Directions —Light, rich loam is most suitable for flowers. The 
soil should be finely pulverized for best results. This is of paramount import¬ 
ance if one wishes to grow them successfully. They, in common with all other 
seeds, should be sown thinly and the soil pressed firmly over them and then 
covered lightly with damp peat moss. Water frequently. A good plan is: Sow 
the seeds in rows about 8 inches apart, then transplant to the permanent 
garden later. 
Do not cover flower seed too deep. Shallow planting is desired. If the soil 
becomes dry, water it first before sowing seeds.
