Flowers To Plant Now 
The first blush of Spring is the time to clean up your 
borders and plan what and where to plant flowers. Above 
all, don’t neglect planting some of Wood’s All America Prize 
Winners. You will be proud of them this summer. They 
are illustrated in authentic colors on inside front cover. For 
edging your borders use Dwarf Double Scarlet Globe Nas¬ 
turtiums or Wood’s Hollywood Star Petunias. For height, 
plant Early Sunshine Marigolds. If your soil is in condition 
for Asters, be sure to plant some of Wood’s Wilt Resistant 
Light Blue Early Giant Asters. Now, for the white spot in 
the garden, plant Wood’s White Fantasy Zinnias. 
The soil in new gardens should be spaded up 10 to 12 
inches deep. If it is medium loam soil, work in thoroughly 
one-half pound of Wood’s Raw Bone Meal per square foot. 
If light sandy soil, work in two quarts of G. P. M. Peat 
Moss per square foot to hold moisture during the hot sum¬ 
mer. If heavy clay soil, mix in 2 pounds of Hyper-Humus 
and one pound of Wood’s Pulverized Cattle Manure per 
square foot, and let the soil stand a week before planting. 
When the plants begin to grow, apply a well balanced plant 
food like Vigoro, or Fairway, 1 to 4 pounds per 100 square 
feet, but no heavier. These fertilizers are described on 
page 28. 
Start seeds of tender annuals in shallow boxes filled with 
a finely sifted sandy soil. Level the surface and press the 
soil lightly. Distribute the seed evenly over the surface. 
This is best done by creasing the seed packet to make a 
trough and lightly tapping with fore-finger. Fine seeded 
varieties should not be covered, merely pressed into the soil. 
Others may be covered lightly. Your boxes should be set in 
a warm, shady place, and the soil kept moderately moist, 
but never soaked. A pane of glass or a frame covered with 
Flex-O-Glass placed over the box will prevent the surface 
soil from drying out too rapidly, but should be removed as 
soon as the seeds sprout. If the seedlings are too close, thin 
them out to allow room for proper development. When 2 
to 4 inches tall, transplant to borders, weather permitting. 
Hardy annuals such as Zinnias, Marigolds, Phlox, Drum- 
mondii, Larkspur, Poppies, or Miniature Sunflowers can be 
sown in open borders after April 10th. When these are 
3 to 4 inches tall they can be thinned out and transplanted 
to the place designated for them. This leaves plenty of room 
in the seed boxes for the tender annuals. The more varieties 
of flowers in your garden the more you will enjoy it. 
Trim your roses and mulch with Pulverized Cattle Manure 
when first foliage appears. For prize-taking roses, when 
buds appear, feed with Vigoro. 
For a succession of cut flowers this summer, plant Gladi- 
olas every two weeks from April 1st to July 1st. You can 
be sure to find all of your favorite shades in Wood’s Rain¬ 
bow Collection, described on page 22. Our April issue of 
WOOD’S CROP SPECIAL will tell you how to cultivate and 
spray your flowers for a prize-winning garden. If you wash
