Essential Steps in 
Sowing Seeds 
For Out of Doors 
Select a well-drained place. 
Spade soil deeply, mixing in a generous 
amount of humus in the form of old manure, 
leaf mold or peat moss. If the soil is a stiflf 
clay, include some sand or screened coal 
ashes. 
Level the surface and water thoroughly 
before sowing the seeds. 
Barely cover the seeds with sifted soil or 
peat moss and never allow the soil to dry 
out. 
Remember that some seeds, such as Zin¬ 
nias and Marigolds, will germinate in a few 
days and need no other covering. 
Other seeds, particularly ])erennials such 
as .Aquilegia and Pyrethrum, are slow to 
germinate and will benefit by a covering of 
burlap. 
As seedlings grow, thin out according to 
size of plant. 
For Indoors 
Use pots, boxes or ])ans having holes in 
the bottom for drainage. 
Place rough charcoal or broken pieces of 
pots over the holes. 
Fill with sandy loam containing about 
one-third humus. 
Water soil thoroughly before sowing 
seeds. 
Barely cover the seeds with sifted soil and 
place a piece of glass, slightly raised for air, 
over the top, keeping this on until the seeds 
germinate. 
Keep in an even temperature as near 70 
degrees as possible. 
A sunny window is an ideal place for the 
seedlings.
