Flower Seeds 

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.
