GROWING FLOWERS FROM SEEDS 
(Continued from page 119) 
Sharp sand and good garden soil. The bottom of the flat may 
be covered with a layer of coarse cinders, broken pots or some 
such material, and the prepared soil finely sifted to fill up the 
balance of the box within about an inch of the top. Place in a 
window where exposed to the sun and cover with a pane of 
glass to retard evaporation. Water carefully with a fine spray, 
keeping the soil moist but not wet. Remove the glass after the 
plants are up. Some flower seeds are very slow to germinate, 
so be sure to allow sufficient time without disturbing soil. When 
the seedlings are large enough to handle, about four leaves, they 
should be transplanted one inch apart in another bed, flat or 
asp : in small pots (paper pots 
oie aie ee are excellent for this pur- 
pose), later to be reset in 
the open ground. 
(E) Sow in hotbed. 
This is the best way to 
start plants that are to be 
transplanted if greenhouse 
is not available. (See pages 
6 and 7 for construction.) 
We recommend use of Gro- 
Quick Electric Seed Bed 
Heater listed page 7. Pre- 
pare soil as in (A) and sow 
as in (B). 
(F) Time of planting— 
March or early spring. 
(G) Time of planting 
outdoors, after all danger 
of frost is over and the soil 
warm, usually about May 
10. 
(H) Time of planting 
indoors, or under glass— 
March or very early spring 
for transplanting after dan- 
ger of frost is over.
