This seed starter must not be confused with the fragile, impractical pasteboard 
devices which have disappointed so many customers. This is a full size “‘flat,” 
made of heavy wood to last for years, stained pale green, which you will be glad 
to have in your sun parlor or living room window. 
It makes use of two of the most recent scientific developments in seed starting: 
1. Wick-feeding of water, which keeps the soil at just the right moisture, never 
drying out, never too wet, and never dripping dirty water from an overflow. 
2. The use of sphagnum moss to prevent damping off of seedlings, highly recom- 
mended by the U. S. D. A. 
As shown in the illustrations, water is supplied to the soil from a pan placed 
underneath the starter, by the agency of capillary attraction, through a fibre 
glass wick, the top of which is frayed and embedded in the soil, the lower end bein 
immersed in water in the pan below. Any suitable pan, saucer, or dish can be used. 
Fill this container with water daily, and the wick will do the rest. This method 
of watering leaves nothing to chance or judgment, and solves in the easiest imagi- 
nable way one of the most serious problems of seed-box management. It has 
been thoroughly tested by Cornell University. The wick will last indefinitely. 
Seeds may be sown in the starter in rows, broadcast or, as shown in the illustra- 
tion, in plant bands. If started in plant bands, and grown one plant to a band, 
sturdy full size pot plants will be produced without transplanting. Seedlings may 
be easily transplanted into plant bands, if preferred. Start the seedlings in a small 
box, or get two seed starters, using one in which to start seeds, the ether in which 
to transplant. Complete instructions for the management of tne starter with 
detailed directions for a long list of subjects with each starter.
