BUCHANAN’S FLOWER SEEDS 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS are printed on the packets. By following them almost 
any person will have fair success in the culture of flowers. While some seeds need 
special treatment, the following general rules will apply to all: Make the surface of 
the soil as fine, smooth and level as possible; do not plant when the ground is wet: 
cover each lot of seeds to a uniform depth, which should not be more than four or six 
times the diameter of the seed; press the soil firmly over the seed; plant in rows so 
that the starting plants can be seen easily, thin out the young.plants to prevent crowd- 
ing and keep entirely free from weeds. Never allow the seedlings to suffer from drouth.
