Grow Evergreens from Seed 
Spruce, Pine and Fir seed germinate in 
from 15 to 30 days after sowing. The factors 
to control from seed are dampening off and 
weeds. For small planting a good method 
is to use flats 3 to 4 inches deep without 
wood bottoms. Use %-inch wire mesh bot- 
toms. Place flats under lath shade outdoors, 
about 2 inches higher than ground level. Fill 
flats with sterilized soil made up of one-half 
sand and one-half garden soil. A seed bed 
10 feet long and 4 feet wide contains room 
for 4000 to 5000 seedlings. Do not sow ever- 
green seeds in hotbeds and cold frames. They 
must have ample side air circulation. Plan 
an evergreen seedling garden. It will be 
very useful.
