HOW TO SOW FLOWER SEED 
ANNUAL FLOWERS are those which grow, bloom, seed and die in one season. Usually they are the 
most continuous bloomers. The seed of most annuals may be sown directly in their permanent place; for 
earlier blooms seed should be started indoors. 
If that is not convenient, select a warm location in 
the yard for a seed bed, and after plants are established reset them to their permanent place, but 
in each method the soil should be a fine, loose, mellow loam and raked smooth. Seed can be sown in rows 
or broadcast. Do not plant flower seeds too deep. Usually. a covering with fine pulverized soil equal to 
four times the diameter of the seed is best. Very fine seed may be merely pressed firmly in the soil. 
Never allow the covering soil to become dried and caked. 
When watering be sure to use a fine spray until the plants have gotten well through the surface. 
For early plants when seeds are started indoors, about one-third sand mixed with the soil is best. 
Keep in shade until the seeds sprout, then place near a window where there is a fair amount of sunlight.
