to raise flowers from seed. Re- 
member the following points: 
SOW the seeds in a well drained, 
porous soil mixture. 
SOIL—Cover the seed lightly and 
evenly with fine soil. Remember— 
the finer the seed the thinner the 
covering should be. 4% inch is 
right for most flower seeds. 
WATER only with a fine spray. 
Do not let your seed flats or beds 
dry out. Keep them moist but not 
sopping wet. 
Some kinds of seeds can be sown 
directly where they are to flower. 
Such seeds require little attention 
other than thinning.
