PETUNIAS 
The chief pitfall the amateur runs 
up against in growing Petunias is in 
the seed sowing. Almost invariably 
they bury the tiny seeds so deeply that 
the sprouting seedlings cannot possibly 
fight their way to t.he surface. Petunia 
seed must be sown with the very ut¬ 
most carefulness. 
A seed flat or a seed pan should be 
used, a light, loamy soil carefully pre¬ 
pared, properly moistened and finely 
screened, the box filled to within a half- 
inch of the top with ample drainage on 
the bottom and tamped down firmly, 
smoothly and evenly. Then the seed 
should be mixed with about a tcaspoon- 
ful of sand and this mixture of seed and 
sand sprinkled carefully and thinly over 
the surface of the seed box. A very fine 
sprinkling of pure sand, not more" than 
one-sixth of an inch, may be used on 
top of this mixture or it may be left 
without any further covering. 
A pane of glass or a damp burlap 
sack or folded newspapers should then 
be placed over the flat and left there 
until the seeds begin to sprout. Im¬ 
mediately after the first sprout appears, 
this heavy shading must be removed and 
a single layer of gauze substituted. 
If the soil has been properly 
moistened when it is being prepared for 
sowing, it will not have to be watered 
again until the seedlings have de¬ 
veloped their third and fourth leaves. 
If the soil appears to be drying out. 
however, water is to be applied with a 
very fine-spray hand bulb, or better 
still, the plan or flat, placed in a tray of 
water to allow moisture to soak" up¬ 
wards from the bottom. Always leave 
the seed box in a well-ventilated place, 
but without any draft, to prevent damp¬ 
ing off. When the seedlings are large 
enough to handle, they should lie 
moved into a second flat or small pots 
for a few weeks before setting out in 
their permanent position in the garden.

LANE WILSON'S ZINNIAS 
The value of Zinnias as garden and 
cut flowers cannot be stressed too 
highly. Their ease of culture, long 
blooming season, together with their 
wide range of color and varied flower 
forms, make them one of the most 
popular of all annual flowers. 
Zinnias are warm weather loving 
plants and should never be sown until 
the soil has thoroughly warmed up and 
all danger of any frost has passed. For 
best results, especially with the smaller 
flowered, early blooming varieties, we 
recommend sowing the seed where the 
plants are to flower.
