PLANTING SUGGESTIONS 
Prepare a fine seed bed to a depth of from 6 to 8 inches. Over 
this spread an inch or more of compost or rotted manure. Put on a 
top layer of about an inch of sifted soil. Then level, tamp and water 
thoroughly. Treat seeds with copper oxide or some similar medium 
to prevent ‘damping off”. Scatter seeds evenly at the rate of one 
ounce of seed to about 275 sq. ft. of bed. Over the sowed bed, sift 
¥Y inch of a mixture of 2 parts of fine peat moss and one part soil. 
Cover with thin burlap and moisten thoroughly. Keep the seed bed

moist but not soggy till germination occurs. Remove burlap as soon as 
seeds have sprouted and sift fine peat moss over the beds. Weed and thin 
seedlings when third leaf has developed. Trensplant, when seedlings have 
five or six leaves, into rich, mellow soil. Fertilize in Fall and early Spring. 
Since a small plant with a large bloom is the 
commercial growers’ goal, avoid the use of 
too much nitrogen, and use enough phosphate 
to develop a sizeable bloom.

Be sure to allow ample time for ger- 
mination of either Clarke's ‘Every- 
= thing” Blend or Hybrid Blend, for each 
: of these mixtures is composed of sev- 
eral strains, which will vary a little in 
: time required for germination. The 
= stronger colors, such as yellow and 
purple, develop their seedlings faster 
than the more delicate pastel tones. 
: Therefore, transplant both small and : 
= large seedlings. :
