CULTURE OF HARDY ANIMALS
BY LIMA p. ROSE.

Seeds of hardy ANIMALS should be
sown early, in shallow boxes or pots
and placed in warm window, or a
hotbed. A second sowing ought to be
made from two 70 four weeks after
for a succession, as well as to pro-
vide against failure the first time.
The most convenient receptacle for
seed is a shallow box from two to
three inches deep and Of any con
venient size.
The best soil for all of the smaller
kinds is very fire, rich, sandy loan.
The very best soil is that taken from
old hotbeds, or from old pasture land,
piled up in sods and allowed to rot
for two or three years and then mixed
with sand and little old stable ma.
nure.
Give the tiny Tlants plenty Of air
and moisture, yet rot too much water,
or they will damp off," Get pots two
inches or more in diameter end plant
the young seedlings along the edges
of the pots, so that as soon as the
ground is warm enough they can be
easily turned out and planted singly,
as by that time they will have good
roots.
Do not cover seeds too deeply. This
is a common and disastrous mistake
