Seed Sowing - - - 
This is one of the oldest agricultural operations but it is surprising how often it is done carelessly 
or improperly. Science has discovered many aids in producing good germination but often they are 
not used. 
The old method of using one part each of sand, leafmold and loam as a sowing medium, is still 
good, but better results can be obtained if seeds are sown on shredded spaghnum moss or Vermiculite. Both 
of these materials are practically sterile and reduce damping off to a minimum. Where soil is used it 
should be sterlized with formaldehyde. See under insecticides for directions. 
Diseases may be carried on the seed and treatment of these is often helpful. Semesan is one 
product for this which is popular with many. The hormone powder, Hormo Root A, is also excellent, es- 
pecially for fine seeds like Snaps and Petunias. The cost of treatment is slight. 
Insects occasionally cause trouble, ants will carry away fine seeds, slugs and other insects will 
chew them off just after germination. Use chlordane for the ants and D.D.T. or one of the poison baits 
for the others. 
Watering improperly can spoil even the most carefully sown seed. An aid to proper watering is 
the English style can with extra fine rose. The best method for fine seeds is that illustrated showing 
the use of the Bird Subirrigator. Even inexperienced growers can get good results with this method. 
While some seeds like cool temperatures to germinate, most of them, especially the annuals, do 
best when temperatures run 65 to 75 degrees. The Gro-Quick cable and thermostat are excellent to main- 
tain the even temperatures necessary for best results. 
Your seedsman is doing his best to deliver to you high quality seed of good germination. Give your 
sowings that little extra care that means extra profits for you.
