Directions for Growing 
FLOWERS 
Here are some details as to how you can grow some of 
your favourite flowers to undreamed of perfection with the 
use of P.M.Gs. Save time, save money and grow them 
yourself in your own garden. 
The P.M.G. can be used in just the same manner and. 
to the same degree that you would use a cool unheated 
greenhouse. It will enable you to sow seeds of half-hardy 
annuals such as Zinnias or Petunias at least a month 
‘before you can be sure of not having a late Spring 
frost. This month is “‘gained time”’ in your cropping 
schedule. You can raise your own seedlings of such items as 
-Petunias, Salvias, Coleus and Larkspur, and have them 
established ready for transplanting a month to six weeks 
earlier : : 
_ Secondly, you can use your P.M.Gs. to bring through the 
Winter fall-sown seedlings of hardy annuals and _ biennials 
such as Wallflowers, Sweet Peas and Canterbury Bells. 
SOWING CONDITIONS 
When sowing the seed, soil should be friable and just 
nicely moist. The surface should be raked to a fine tilth as 
level as possible. The site should have been well manured 
or composted for a previous crop. Freshly manured. soil 
would tend to give rank growth. It is always an advantage 
to put the P.M.Gs. in position a week or so before sowing. 
in the fall or early Spring to warm up the soil.
