SHOULD THE GROUND FREEZE before you have made 
your sowings of cold-loving seeds, you can sow in pots 
or boxes of soil, placing these outside, preferably on the 
north of a building. Keep covered with straw, leaves, or 
best of all, with snow, until spring, when germination will 
take place. Another method is to stratify alternate layers 
of seeds and damp sand or peat moss, this best under 
shelter of an unheated building. In spring, sift out seeds 
and sow in shaded seed-bed.
