Flowers To Plant Early Indoors 
Some annuals that can be started indoors or in the hot- 
bed are: Dwarf Dahlias, Asters, Alyssum, Verbenas, 
Petunias, Carnations, Salvias, Nicoti: ana, Ageratum, 
Sweet Peas, Snapdragons, Lobelias, Phlox Drummondi, 
and Stocks. The seed may be st: arted in flower pots or 
even old coffee cans provided they are properly drained; 
Vermiculite, rather than soil. 
use the new sterile medium, 
Individual varieties should be kept separate in each con- 
tainer. Such containers require less space than flats, and 
may be handled much more easily. Set the container in a 
saucer or similar receptacle which is constantly filled with 
water. The pot automatically soaks up the amount of 
moisture required. To insure against damping off, mix 
Semesan with the seeds at time of planting.
