Directions for 
GERMINATING SEEDS 
If you are a new grower, send for our booklet, ““Commer- 
cial Pansy Culture”. Price 25c. Refunded with first order. 
1. Have your soil weed free and pulverized to a depth of 
eight or more inches. If available use some one of the many 
soil sterilizing methods now known. On the level surface 
spread evenly a layer of compost or pulverized well-rotted 
manure to a depth of at least one inch. Soak the bed thor- 
oughly. Allow to dry enough to rake and then roll or tamp 
to a level surface. Overlay compost with enough sand to 
produce a smooth top and roll again. 
2. Treat seed with Copper Oxide or Semesan. Sow in shallow 
drills or broadcast. We use 250 square feet to sow an ounce 
of seed broadcast. Cover with sifted mixture of two parts 
peat moss to one part of compost. The depth of this covering 
should be about one-eighth inch. Then cover with light bur- 
lap or thin sheeting and anchor. Use spray of water to mois- 
ten surface after burlap cover is on. Make several applications 
to penetrate the peat so as not to float the seed from its orig- 
inal level. Do not use heavily chlorinated water if avoidable. 
3. Allowing plenty of ventilation keep your beds moist until 
germination. Maintain constant moisture during the day but 
never allow seed beds to go into the evening overly moist. 
Any dryness after seeds germinate is fatal. As soon as plant- 
lets begin to appear, remove burlap and sift a thin layer of 
peat moss on the top of the beds. To avoid damping off, 
water your seedlings cautiously. Germination time from 8 to 
21 days depending on weather conditions. If you have trouble 
from damping off, water seedlings with Semesan solution. 
4. If your fall seedlings are not growing rapidly enough, fer- 
tilizer is the answer. The same goes for late winter and 
spring. Feed them often and cultivate frequently for top re- 
sults and maximum profits that you should get from our seeds.
