Spring is here.
1t is time for flower lover to be-
gin planting their gardens.
1t is the time when the average
amateur gardener makes his worst
mistakes.
Too often he buys seed which he
does not handle properly, with the
result that bare spots in the gar
den show where he expected beau
tiful blossoms. The young plants
that he expected to flower are killed
by the hot sun or choked under
heavy or dry soil.
Teh amateur should make a start
now by sowing the seed of many
kinds of snowy ANIMALS in boxes or
pots, to be kept indoors for a while.
The boxes should have holes for
drainage in the bottom, but should
not be so open as to keep the soil
dry.
Ordinary garden soil may be used
in the bottom, but at the top there
should be a lighter soil, well mixed
The small seed should be sown on
the surface; then fine soil spread
over them and pressed down. but
not so hard as to cause the soil
to bake.

WILL YOU START A
FLOWER GARDEN?

Coarse seed can best be planted
in little drills, or each seed pressed
down into the soil, and the whole
covered with a thin layer of earth,
as with the small seed. The soil
should be gently sprinkled with
water Immediately after the plant
ing. Only the quantity of water
which the soil can absorb without
becoming soggy should be given.
The box should be watered subse-
quently whenever the soil becomes
dry little below the surface.
1t is a good practice to SOW the
seed in rows, as this enables the
soil to be stirred, to prevent it from
baking.
When the Plants Grow.
The box should be set by the
window and given plenty of light,
but at the same time shielded from
the hot sun. When the plants have
grown to fair size, 1t will be warm
enough outdoors to set them out in
the garden. Only the stronger
plants should be chosen for replant-
ing. Agortums, sweet alysium,
snapdragons. helio,ropes, lobelias,
nasturtiums and verbenas can be
treated successfully this way.
