WHY ALWAYS BLAME THE SEED? A single plant of Pudor’s own Wrexham Delphiniums, grown by our 
After you have sown your annual, perennial, and vegetable customer, Mr. Robert Dunn of Katonah, N. Y. 
seeds, remember that the critical times in their lives is just after 
the seed has germinated. If the surface of the soil is dry, the 
tiny plantlets will die unless they are supplied with water. The 
amateur is inclined to blame the seedman and say the seeds were 
not good and would not germinate. Of course, this is seldom true, 
for reliable seedsmen test their seeds, and when we give them 
ideal conditions for growth, they do germinate no matter what 
we think. The common error is to think the seeds have not germ- 
inated, whereas, in reality, they started to grow, but the surface 
of the soil was too dry for them hence their tiny rootlets perished — 
before they reached the moist layers of soil beneath. 
Cover your seed beds with a newspaper or a cloth until the ie 
seeds have germinated and the little roots have reached the moist | 
layers of soil—From “Better Homes and Gardens.” 
The lesson brought home by the great losses of seedlings in 
open ground seed beds is that seeds of choice plants should be _ 
sown in boxes or frames where they can be kept under control as _ 
to moisture and shade without difficulty. This is the only certain 
way to save the plants, as the most favored positions for seed | 
beds in the open ground have serious losses. 
PLEASE DO NOTE! 
As only such seeds as germinate well in our own establishment — 
are supplied to customers, we will not and cannot accept respon- 
sibility for failure in the hands of others whose management, lack 
of equipment or lack of knowledge, may unconsciously be the. 
cause of non-success.
