Wise Seed Use

Occasionally a home gardener
feels that he has a poor stand OF
plants in his garden because he did
not use enough seed. If he used old
seed Of low terminating power, this
may be true; but usually the wealth
er or some other condition has pre-
vented thu. seeding plants from get
ting a good start. Gardeners are
far more likely to plant the seed too
thickly than otherwise. This involves
extra work in thinning out extra
plants; or in many gardens. it
means that the plants stay crowded
and never produce as much food as
they might.
In buying seed, it is wise to plan
the amount of seed needed for the
space to be planted. The seeding
rates suggested in seed catalogues
or other booklets on gardening give
a good margin Of safety.
