INDEX, GERMINATION and CULTURE GUIDE 
When sowing seeds it is always best to divide the packets and sow at different times. Note the time and give good 
eare until the plants have had time to appear. The following table gives the time normally required for germination 
of each variety of seeds. This time may vary as much as 25% either way. Do not condemn seeds until you have given 
them at least two or three trials. Those marked z or having the dagger (j{) beside them may lie dormant for a year
