. Catalogue of the Cox Seed & Plant Co. Seed industry and trade Catalogs; Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Trees Catalogs. FLOWER SEED DEPARTMENT. It K HARKS OV TIIK CILTI VATIOX OF FLOWERS. The soil best adapted to most flowers is light, rich loam, containing euouali sand to make it porous. If there is some clay with it the colors will be brighter. Make the surface as smooth and flue as possible, sow seed in rows, covering each sort of seed in proportion to its size (a good general rule being to cover twice the diameter of the seed;, and press the soil firmly down over it. Do not plant any seeds when the qround is wet. Many varieties should be sown early in shallow boxes in the house, in soil consisting of equal parts of fine sand and rich mellow loam, well mixed together and sifted, to remove all gravel and lumps. Sow as before directed. Covering the box with glass helps to retain the mois- ture and keeps the temperature even. Be careful not to keep them too wet, and as soon as they are large enough to handle, trans- plant into boxes, from one to two inches apart, where they are to remain until time to transplant to permanent beds.
