Preparing Bed for Germinating Seed 
1. Have your soil clean and pulverized to a depth of six or more inches. 
2. On the level surface spread evenly a layer of pulverized manure, compost preferred, to depth of at least 
one inch. 
Overlay manure with half inch of the best soil you have, thoroughly pulverized. 
Rake down and tamp surface true and smooth. 
Soak down the bed several inches. 
Sow in drills or broadeast—drills are better. 
Cover as lightly as possible with your best soil or sand, mixed 50-50 with peat moss. 
Use spray of water to moisten surface, after light burlap cover is on. 
OO IA Pw 
Allowing plenty of ventilation, keep your beds moist, quite moist, but not soaking wet, until plants come up. 
We use cheapest grade of burlap to retain moisture. As soon as plants begin to come through freely we remove 
burlap permanently, and sift tops of beds with thin layer of peat moss. To avoid damping off, water young seed- 
lings VERY SPARINGLY. 
Never allow your beds to become dry. Any dryness after seeds sprout is absolutely fatal. These directions 
are for sowing in the open field, but will apply when using flats or cold frames. WE USE 125 TO 150 SQUARE 
FEET TO SOW AN OUNCE OF SEED BROADCAST. 
CAUTION— Alternate your pansy crop with some other crop. 
THE UNUSUALLY HIGH GERMINATING QUALITIES OF STEELE’S MASTODON PANSY SEED is a 
revelation to all extensive growers who use our stock. 
Owing to uniformity required in producing separate colors, the average size 1s not equal to the types of flow- 
ers found in our mixtures. We strongly advise mixtures for your main crop, and you save money thereby.
