TABLE SEEDS.
of fiat provides suitable medium
for sowing all kinds of vegetable
seeds, easily transferred from warm
to cooler conditions and in case of
damping off no great loss is incurred.
When sowing the seed the fiat is
loosely filled with soil to which q
good proportion of sand has been
added and leveled OF with one sweep
with the back Of the pressboard. The
soil is then pressed down one-half
inch, as indicated, by fit of the press
board in width to the fiat. The
level stick is then used. This fits
the fiat the long way, and makes
drill, the bevel edge being greater
than the depth of the pressboard. The
seed is sown in these drills, which can
be quite close together when the soil
is light in texture, covering lightly
with soil and repeating the pressing
with board. One Of the advantages in
sowing all seed at the same depth and
in transplanting from rows is that the
operator can remove the seedlings
much more quickly. We would sug-
gest trial of this device, the ex-
plantation being much more difficult
