ooNT.s FOR THE GARDENER.

Don't crowd your seeds. Plant them
one at a time if large enough to handle
individually, and you will get twice as
many seedlings
DOM forget to spray your seed boxes
regularly. Lack Of care in watering
is productive of more failures in flower
raising han any other one cause.
Don't plant two kinds of seed in one
box unless their habits and time of
termination are the same. Growing
plantlets require more water than
terminating seeds.
Don't fail to label your seed boxes and
to indicate where the rows are planted,
so that you will know whether weeds
or flowers are coming up.
Don't let the temperature get be-
low 40 degrees in h room where you
keep your seed boxes. Seeds grow best
in a room in which the temperature is
kept moist and at an even temperature
of about 20 degrees.
Don't place your seed boxes in the di-
rect sunlight until the seeds have
sprouted. Keep them in a light situa-
ton, however. Heat is more essential
than light to seeds; light is essential to
the development of Plantlets. The
young plant is, however, as tender as
an infant, and must not be rudely ex-
posed to the glare of a hot sun all day.
Watch carefully for dropping leaves,
which are a sure sign that the plants
have had a sufficient sun hath and need
rest and water.-N. Y. Weekly.
