CADWELL AND JONES’ 
FINE FLOWER SEEDS 
The Soil. A mellow loam, which is a 
medium earth between the extremes of clay 
and sand, enriched with a compost of rotted 
manure and leafmold, is adapted to the 
general run of flowering plants. Previous to 
planting flower beds or borders, care must 
be taken that they are so arranged that the 
ground may be a little elevated in the 
middle, that the water may run off, and that 
the plants may show to better advantage. 
Sowing the Seed. We urge every pur¬ 
chaser of our seeds to carefully study the 
cultural directions printed on each package, 
and the following general rules: 
Do not plant any of the seeds when the 
ground is wet. Make the surface as fine 
and smooth as possible. Cover each sort of 
seed to a depth proportionate to its size; 
the finest, like Portulaca, Campanula, Digi¬ 
talis, etc., should be merely sprinkled on 
the surface of the ground, and barely cov¬ 
ered with finely sifted, light, mellow soil. 
Press soil down firmly over the seed with a 
brick or short piece of board. For large 
seeds, depth should be regulated according 
g gS 'and^fhose thl ste* 
Procure a bit of lath (it would be better if planed smooth) about 2 feet long, press the edge down into the soil 
evenly, so as to make a groove as deep as the seed is to be planted; scatter the seed along this, allowing four or five of 
the larger to fifteen or twenty of the smaller seeds to the space one plant is to occupy when grown. Cover the seed by 
pressing earth together over it, then turn your lath sideways and press soil down firmly and evenly.
