. How Does Your Garden Grow?
Seed Sowing Is An Art Garden Fan Should Learn

When a gardener buys @ packet of seed. usually 1t bears terse direc- tions, such as "Sow in the open ground when the weather is warm. ' "sow in heat" etc. They sound simple enough, but one accustomed to sowing seed would hardly agree that 1t is as simple as 1t sounds. Seed sowing is quite an art, in 1t. self, easily learned, but details must be observed for full success. For tunately, seed is the cheapest corn- modity on the market, and proba- bly, more seed Is wasted through poor methods or careless work in sowing than from any other reason Knowledge of correct methods of seed sowing undoubtedly would inc crease the good reputation of seeds men, who are all too often blamed for fl success.
 The seed in It's function as the originator of plant life Is a small body, often c very tiny one, which contains a miscropic plant called the embryo with a quantity Of food matter stored in the seed and often in the thickened first pair of leaves known as seedieaves or cotyledons which differ from the true leaves of the plant, which appear later. Sometimes the stored food supply is missing in seeds. The whole B surrounded by more or less hard and thick shell or coating.
 Under proper conditions the em- bryo escapes from this protecting cover and the mature plant results. The escape is called germinatior1. At the start Of germination, the pri- n'ary parts that later become root

and stem thrust through the seed covering, the root turning down. ward and the stem upward. Mois- ture and temperature are the two factors that control germination, and they are the two factors that must be considered in successful seed sowing.
 In the mechanics of seed sowing, the first point to obesrve is never to bury the seed too deeply in the soil. If planted too deeply it may be smothered before it can find strength to thrust through the soil, exhausting ail the stored food sup- ply of the seed in the effort. Deep sowing Is most frequent mistake and the commonest cause of poor success with seeds. Cover c seed with its own depth of soil. This B the best rule of thumb. Tiny seeds merely lie on the surface.
