The young trees should be banked

SOWING SEEDS TOO DEEPLY
Smaller Vegetables and Flowers Can
Hardly Be Covered Too Lightly
With tho Soil.

More seeds are probably killed by
sowing or covering too deeply than
too lightly.
It is no uncommon thing to find
small seeds covered with a quarter
or over half an inch of soil.
Thousands so deeply sown perish,
germs either never come to life at all
or are quite unequal to coping with
such a weight Of covering earth.
Only the larger seeds of vegetables
should be sown from a quarter to one
inch in depth.
Peas, beans and such like seeds may
go underground two or three inches
but the smaller vegetables and flower
seeds can hardly be covered too light
ly. provided they are covered.
It should always be borne in mind
that deep sowing ruins more seeds
than any other fault or mistake.
