SOWING AND GERMINATION 
Growing Snaps from seed during the heat of summer 
often is found difficult and results are not as good as they 
should be. Primarily the medium used to sow into has a 
great bearing on results. Excellent germination has been 
had in flats filled with finely sifted old cinders. Where only 
cinders are used liquid feeding is necessary when the 
plants make their third or fourth leaf. Another method is 
to fill flats almost full with good light soil, sterilized with 
formaldehyde or steam, covering the top !/2 inch with cin- 
ders, sand or finely ground spaghnum moss. Sown on top, 
without covering, pressed into the soil, watered very gently, 
kept uniformly moist and cool, little difficulty should be 
experienced. When sufficient ventilation is given there 
should be little damping off and any that should start can 
be promptly stopped with a dusting of Zinc Oxide or 
Fermate. We also recommend dusting seed before sowing 
with Hormo Root A. The cost is practically nothing and it 
does make a difference.
