HOW TO PREPARE
SEEDS FOR BEDS

Why do good seeds sometimes fail
to come up? They may not have
been planted at the proper depth,
which depends upon the kind of seed.
Small seed like lettuce should not be
planted over one-fourth Of an inch
deep. Large seeds are planted Vt va
rying depths. depending on whether
the o 10 stored, on the ~endosperm
or on the seed leaves, and also on
whether the seed leaves are lifted
above the surface OF left in the SOIL.
Corn in which the food Is stored in
the endosperm may be planted 4 inch
es deep. Peas in which the food is
stored In the seed leaves that are left
in the soil may be planted 2 inches
deep. Beans in which the food Is
stored in the seed leaves that are lift
ed above the surface should be plant
ed only 1 inch deep. Otherwise the
seed leaves viii be torn off in trying
to force their way through the soil
and the plant will be stunted.
The depth to plant seed also de-
Ponds upon the condition OF the soil,
amount of soil moisture and the
temperature of the soil. The soil in
the seed bed should always be made
fine and mellow M all the Jumps
crushed, for seed do not need to be
planted 70 deeply in such a soil as
in a lump soil. The seeds also gerni-
nate more quickly in a fine. mellow
soil. If the soil Is moist and cold.
the seeds should be planted shallower
than If it Is dry and warm. Seed
vary In the soil temperature require
ments for termination. and no time
is gained in the spring by planting
summer vegetable seed before the soil
is warm enough to cause them to
sprout. For instance. garden peas
which are distinctly a spring vegeta-
bile, may be planted much earlier
thar beans. which are a summer crop
1t is also true that the seeds of cool
weather vegetables Will not terminate
in a soil hat is too warm, and this
Is why the seed beds for raising Au-
gust collard, cabbage. lettuce and on
ion plants should be located In the
coolest section of the garden, and as
far as possible in a section where it
c~asionally. Ordinarily soil that has
been freshly worked will contain
enough moisture to soak the seed
thoroughly and cause it to terminate
without extra hell If, however, the
soil is dry when seeds are planted in
late July and August. first thorough
ly water the soil in the row, then
plant the seeds and owe them with
soil. Large seeds with hard seed
coats should be soaked in water for
"a hours before they are planted.
Quite frequently seeds fail to come
up because commercial fertilizer was
put in the rows when the seeds are
planted. Commercial fertilizer should
be spread evenly all over the soil
when the garden is being prepared
for planting, or 1t should be spread
and worked In between the rows of
the growing crop. But it should never
be Put In the rows when the seeds are
planted.
