GENERAL PLANTING DIRECTIONS FOR 
GROWING FLOWERS FROM SEED 
LOCATION: Nearly all flowers do well in sunny locations. Only 
a few can be grown in the shade. For flowers blooming in the late 
spring, high shade from the hot afternoon sun should be provided. 
SOIL: Light, rich loamy soil is best suited for flowers. To improve 
heavy soils and conserve moisture, add peat moss and sand lib- 
erally. Spade the soil deeply and make the top 3 or 4 inches as 
fine and loose and smooth as possible. Well rotted manure worked 
into the soil before planting may be used if desired. 
SOWING THE SEED. Fine seeds should be planted on the surface 
and a very little soil sprinkled over them, after which they should 
be pressed firmly to the soil with a board. Medium size seeds may 
be planted twice the depth of their diameter, or from 1% to 1% inch 
deep. Larger seeds, such as sweet peas should go deeper. 
WATERING: After planting, water with a fine spray to avoid wash- 
ing the soil from the seed. Keep top soil damp—not wet—until 
germination. When large enough, thin plants from 2 to 12 inches, 
depending upon the variety. Water plants thoroughly ONLY at 
intervals—not daily. Watering depends upon the time of year, 
texture of soil and nature of plant. 
FERTILIZER: We recommend the use of an all-purpose commercial 
fertilizer as a top dressing after the plants are up, to stimulate and 
properly feed the plants.
