IN OPEN GROUND 
Irrigate thoroughly, and after a few days 
spade, pulverize and rake level. 
Open a shallow furrow, sow the seeds, cover 
immediately and firm the soil to the seeds with 
the back of the rake. Level the surface by rak- 
ing, leaving a loose mulch on top. Avoid sprin- 
kling. The thorough irrigation before spading 
should provide moisture to germinate the seeds 
without additional water being applied. After 
the plants are up, they may be sprinkled or 
irrigated. 
When the plants are sufficiently developed, 
thin to a distance between the plants that will 
give room for those remaining to develop well. 
SOWING SEEDS IN FLATS 
It is usually better to start small seeds in 
shallow boxes or flats. Be sure to see that the 
bottom of the flat provides good drainage. Fill 
the flat to the top with a mixture composed of 
equal parts of peat moss, sand, and good gar- 
den loam, thoroughly moistened. Firm the soil 
in the flat, leaving a smooth surface. Broad- 
cast the seeds on the surface, pressing them

lightly into the soil, and cover them with sand 
only. They should be covered to a depth of 
about 2¥%2 to 3 times the breadth of the seed 
itself. Instead of sprinkling flat may be placed 
in a shallow pan of water and moisture allowed 
to soak from the bottom to the surface. 
The flat should be placed in the sunlight 
after all the seeds have germinated. When the 
plants have acquired a second or third set of 
leaves, or when they have grown sufficiently 
large for transplanting, they may be removed 
to the open ground. 
FEED YOUR PLANTS 
Plants, like animals, must have good food 
in order to thrive. Give them a complete plant 
food containing the three most necessary ele- 
ments usually found in insufficient quantities 
in the soil—nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. 
A plant food such as this should be used 
lightly (3 to S pounds per 100 square feet) sev- 
eral times during the season rather than heavily 
once a year. It will give equally good results 
on vegetables, flowers, shrubs, trees and lawns.
