either broadcast or in rows, and COVER LIGHTLY— 
Sow the Seeds a good general rule is to cover four to six times the 
size of the seeds—and press the soil firmly. SMALL SEEDS CANNOT COME 
UP IF COVERED TOO DEEP. Very fine seeds should be sown on the surface 
and PRESSED INTO THE SOIL. To have the earliest blooms, flowers that 
stand transplanting should be sown early in boxes indoors. Water with a 
fine spray, do not let the soil dry out, do not keep the plants saturated, as 
they may damp off. When three or four leaves have formed transplant one 
inch apart in boxes, or in the open ground if warm enough.
