Selected Flower Seeds 
or in rows, and cover lightly—a good general rule is to cover four to six times the size of 
the seeds—and press down the soil firmly. Small seeds cannot come up if covered too deep. Very fine seeds should be sown 
on the surface and pressed into the soil. 
To have the earliest blooms, flowers that stand transplanting should be sown early 
in boxes indoors. Water with a fine spray, do not let the soil dry out, do not keep the plants saturated. When three or four 
leaves have formed, transplant one inch apart in boxes, or in the open ground if warm enough. The soil best suited to 
flowers is a light, rich loam, made as fine and smooth as possible.
