FROM SEED FLAT TO GARDEN BED 
For growing seed indoors use shallow 
boxes known as flats, but be sure drainage 
is good. See that the boards on the bottom 
are spaced about a quarter of an inch apart. 
Place some material along the cracks to pre- 
vent the soil from washing through the bot- 
tom. On the bottom half inch of the flat 
place gravel or soil screenings to help the 
drainage. 
Mark the surface of the flat or seed bed 
by pressing a narrow edged ruler or garden 
label lightly into the surface. Sow the seed 
thinly in the depressions by sifting it out 
between your thumb and forefinger. The 
seed should be covered lightly. Water with 
fine spray only. 
HOW TO AVOID LOSSES IN TRANSPLANTING 
Avoid root shock and you can transplant al- 
most anything almost any time. Three things 
to do are: 1. Move plant with minimum 
exposure of roots to the air. 2. Protect from 
too severe sunlight while the plant is estab- 
lishing self. 3. Get food to the root system 
as quickly as possible after transplanting 
job is completed. 
“PUDDLE IN" 
_ BOOSTER 
SSOLUTION 
If small plants are in a flat, wet soil thor- 
oughly before transplanting, squeeze lightly 
into ball around root system of each plant, 
set into ground and firm soil around it. Go 
over planting with sprinkling pot or hose 
and puddle each plant in. Planting done in 
late afternoon gets full night, before ex- 
posure to sun. Tender seedlings should be 
protected for first day, shingles set beside 
them or with some other shading device. In 
first 24 hours give each plant a booster solu- 
tion, either commercial mixture or ammonium 
sulphate—two tablespoonsful to a gallon of 
water—and pour it on the ground surface 
around the plants. Don‘t pour on foliage 
or stems, and follow each application with 
good general sprinkling to get food into 
ground where feeder roots can pick it up 
easily.
