Wood’s High-Grade Flower Seeds 
Sow the Seeds either broadcast or in rows, and cover llght- 
kjuw Liic OCCU9 jy—good general rule is to cover four to 
six times the size of the seeds—and press the soil firmly. Small 
seeds cannot come up if covered too deep. Very fine seeds should 
be sown on the surface and pressed into the soil. To have the 
earliest blooms, flowers that stand transplanting should be sown 
early in boxes indoors. AYater with a fine spray, do not let the 
soil dry out, do not keep the plants saturated, as they may damp 
off. When three or four leaves have formed transplant one inch 
apart in boxes, or in the open ground if warm enough. 
■TL— Soil suited to flowers is a light rich loam, made as 
A lie ijuii smooth as possible. If heavy, mix with sand 
to lighten and make it friable. Many seeds are very small and 
require a fine seed-bed. 
HADE HARDY and TENDER FDOWERS should not be sown or 
transplanted outside until the weather is settled and warm. 
HARD SHEDDED SEEDS like Canna, Evening Glory, Brazilian 
and Japanese Morning Glory should have a hole filed through 
the outer shell, or soaked in warm water 36 hours before 
planting.
