QUESTIONS ON PELLETED 
SEEDS .. . AND ANSWERS 
Q—“‘What are Pelleted Seeds?” 
A—-Pelleted Seeds are carefully selected, 
highest quality seeds surrounded with 
several coats of stimulants and fungi- 
cides. 
Q—‘What does this ‘coating’ do?” 
A—Briefly, the coating provides an ideal, 
disease-free condition around the newly 
planted seed, insuring stronger germina- 
tion and growth. 
Q—‘Doesn’t a pelleted seed require more 
water?” 
A—If the season is unusually dry or if the 
seeds are planted in light, sandy soils, 
additional water will be required. 
Q—“Do pelleted seeds require special planting 
instructions?” 
A—Just follow the simple ‘Planting Direc- 
tions’ on the package label. Or, plant 
the same as you would ordinary single 
seeds but cover only enough to hold 
pellets in place. Do not tamp down soil 
after planting. 
Q—“‘Are all pelleted seeds’ ‘coats’ the same?”’ 
A—No. Different vegetables and flowers 
need different types and amounts of 
stimulants and fungicides. The exact 
coating is determined only after scores 
of tests. 
Q—‘What good does the fungicide coating 
do?” 
A—The fungicide kills disease on the seed 
itself, and also in the immediate soil sur- 
rounding the seed. 
Q—“Does the ‘coat’ supply enough fertilizer?”’ 
A—The amount of fertilizers are sufficient 
to supply food during the early stages of 
growth. It is not enough to carry the 
plant through to maturity. The cus- 
tomary use of fertilizers is recommended. 
Q—Do pellets stand the frost better?” 
A—Yes. Any seed requires warmth for 
germination, but the fungicide in the 
pellet tends to prevent seed rot under 
cold, wet conditions. After emergence 
the seedling will not withstand freezing. 
Q—“Is it possible to eliminate trans- 
planting?” 
A—Yes. The larger individual seed 
makes it easier for you to space 
your planting and thus eliminate 
most transplanting. 
Q—‘Will pelleted seeds grow most 
anywhere?” 
A-—Pelleted Seeds cannot perform mir- 
acles. Suitable ground, proper plant- 
ing, and favorable weather are all 
necessary for the greatest possible 
growth,
