BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS for Everyone 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS—Light, rich loam is most suitable for flowers. 
The soil should be finely pulverized for best results. 
This 
is of paramount importance if one wishes to grow them successfully. They, in common with all other seeds, should be sown thinly and 
the soil pressed firmly over them and then covered lightly with damp peat moss. Water frequently. A good plan is: Sow the seeds in 
rows about 8 inches apart, then transplant to the permanent garden later. Do not cover flower seeds too deep. Shallow planting is 
desired. If the soil becomes dry, water it first before sowing seeds.
