HENRY L. PREE

Most gardeners are inclined to be
in a hurry when sowing seed. The
result is they are sown toe thickly
Tasting seed and reducing the yield
Proper procedure Is to SOW only a
little thicker than the stard you
desire; this practice reduces labor
Of thinning out the plants. and also
increases quality Of vegetables.
Many gardeners start some vege-
table seed indoors. The time to SOW
this seed depends upon two factors
the weather and your ability to have
your garden soil in readiness to re-
ceive the tender plants. The general
rule is TO SOW seed indoors, or in
the hotbed, four to six weeks be-
fore the last frostproof date in your
locality. The ideal soil for starting
seed indoors is an equal mixture Of
sand and peat moss.
Success with starting seeds in
doors requires considerable study
and preparation. Frequently entire
paintings are lost due to "damping
off" a name applied to a disease
which causes whiting and death OF
seedlings just as they push through
the soil. 1t is the result of one or
more fungus growths which live in
the sell.
