HINTS FOR SUCCESSFUL FLOWER GROWING 
First: Prepare your seed bed well. The soil does not want to be 
worked when it is too wet or too dry, otherwise it will be too cloddy for 
fine flower seeds. Have the fertilizer thoroughly mixed into the top soil. 
Second: Do not plant tender flowers too early. They will not thrive 
until the soil is quite warm anyway, and if planted early may germinate 
and then kill out if a cold spell sets in. Do not plant fine flower seeds 
too deep. 
Third: Water carefully, so as not to wash the soil when seeds are 
planted, or after they are sprouted.
