BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME WITH FLOWERS 
There can be no greater joy than the planting of your own garden and certainly nothing more fascinating than actually growing from 
etd the plants and varieties desired. 
It is difficult to believe that anyone would contemplate leaving the grounds around their cherished home 
bare and unattractive, especially when so many beautiful flowers can be grown from seed, with so little effort and at such a small cost. 
Your 
-home surrounded by a profusion of brilliantly colored and variously shaped flowers growing in neatly designed beds will delight your eye and 
‘as “Old Mother Earth” unfolds her beauty in all her majestic splendor you will be inspired with the feeling that the home fs more beautiful 
than ever. 
There is practically no limit to the beauty that may be built into your home grounds and at very small cost. 
SOIL — A sandy loam is most preferable 
‘for flowers, but almost any type soil can be 
rendered suitable. If too heavy, add sand. 
‘vVeat Moss will improve both light and heavy 
soils. 
‘SOWING — After soil has been prepared, 
~sow seed carefully either in rows or broadcast 
as: you have decided, then COVER LIGHTLY. 
As a general rule most seeds are covered to a 
‘depth. not exceeding four times the thickness 
of the seed. DO NOT COVER SEED TOO 
DEEP as they may not be able to come up. 
After covering PRESS SOIL FIRMLY with 
plank or flat side of hoe. Very small seeds 
should be sown on the surface of soil and 
merely PRESSED IN. 
STARTING PLANTS INDOORS — Half 
hardy or tender varieties or even hardy flow- 
ers requiring a long season to bloom should 
be started in boxes for earliest blooms. Pro- 
eure best soil available especially rich in hu- 
mus and plant as previously explained. Place 
boxes near window where sunlight may reach 
them but do not let inside room temperature 
FLOWER SEED PLANTING CHART 
(Symbols used: A—annual. 
e get so high as to make plants grow rank and 
spindly. Keep soil moist but not wet. When 
three or four leaves have formed, transplant 
one inch apart in boxes or in open ground, 
if warm enough. Before setting plants in 
garden “harden off’ by placing boxes outside 
on mild days until they are able to stand the 
weather without injury. 
CULTIVATING — As soon as growth com- 
mences cultivate between rows and near plants 
to conserve moisture and permit the entrance 
of air but above all keep down weeds — 
which can truly be called the robbers of the 
soil. Cultivate deeply at first and then grad- 
ually more shallow as plants get larger so 
their roots may not be injured. 
WATERING — The best and safest time 
to water is early in the morning or in the 
evening. The roots of plants may be irrigated 
at any time of the day. Remember that one 
thorough soaking will do more good than 
many scanty. .sprinklings.
