tempt to raise them. Starting seeds
IN the house is not the most salts
factory way. but where one only de-
sires a few plants, it gives good re-
suits when an interest is taken in
them. Cabbage requires cooler and
different conditions than celery, to-
matoes and flowers, and hence cannot
be started to advantage in the same
fat or box. Soil to be used In start
ing plants indoors should be allowed
to freeze before using, as otherwise
where taken up in the fall and stored
in the cellar, the fungus growth that
often exists proves fatal to the young
plants. Soil of a sandy nature should
always be used to start seed in, where
possible. as this will not crust over
as badly. seeds germinate better and
water will seep through It more read
lily. Boxes or pans used should have
openings in the bottom so all surplus
water can drain away.
