TIPS ON PLANTING ) 
Sow outdoors many varieties of annuals, reserving space in the sunny 
window or cold frame for only the choicest or newest. It’s so easy to 
plant annuals right in the ground and with such remarkable results that 
any illusions about the miracle of seed planting are stripped aWay 
competely. > 
Annuals make few cultural demands. Good seed planted at the right 
time in well-prepared soil sums up neatly. 
There is no hard and fast rule as to how deep seeds should be panied 
save that those first tender leaves shouldn‘t have to push too hard or 
too far to reach air and sunlight. ; F au 
The earlier seeds are planted, the shallower, for in April soil is wetter 
and heavier than in May. Depth of planting is sensibly adjusted to the 
week of planting, the size of the seed and the dryness of the soil, 
A good idea in order to keep your planting from being too thick ts 
to mix the seed with five times its bulk of fine, thoroughly dry sand. 
In any case be sure to firm down the soil with your hands or tamp it 
down with the back of the rake so that the seeds are brought into con- 
tact with the warmth and moisture in the earth in order to germinate. 
Hard coated seeds such as Sweet Peas and Morning Glories will grow 
faster if they are soaked overnight in a teacup of water before planting.
