HOW TO SOW FLOWER SEED 
As many flower seeds are very small and fine it is usually best to grow plants in seed beds and 
later transplant them to their permanent place, but if this is not convenient the seed may be sown 
directly in their permanent place. In either case the soil should be a loose mellow loam and raked 
smooth. Broadcast small seeds and cover lightly 4 times the diameter of the seed. Very small seed may 
be merely pressed in. Firm the soil well over the seed. 
and hard. 
It is important that the soil does not become dry 
When watering be sure to use a fine spray until the plants have gotten well through the surface. 
For early plants seed may be started indoors in boxes. About one-third sand mixed with the soil 
is best. Keep in shade until the seeds sprout, then place near a window where there is a fair amount 
of sunlight.
