HINTS FOR SUCCESSFUL 
FLOWER GROWING 
First: Prepare your seed bed well. The 
soil does not want to be worked when it is 
too wet or too dry, otherwise it will be too 
cloddy for fine flower seeds. Have the fer- 
tilizer thoroughly mixed into the top soil. 
Second: Do not plant tender flowers too 
early. They will not thrive until the soil is 
quite warm anyway, and if planted early 
“may germinate and then kill out if a cold 
spell sets in. Do not plant fine flower seeds 
too deep. It is advisable to mulch with 
Michigan Peat, to keep the top of the 
ground from caking. 
Third: Water carefully, so as not to wash 
Bellis, or English Daisy the soil when seeds are planted, or after 
they are sprouted.
