You could not C~-"-" ~ use this kind of pellet in your garden. The kind of pellet used for vegetables and flowers is the single-seed pellet. This is the kind of pellet we will discuss here and we will use its more specific name: "Coated Seed". A coated seed consists of one seed built up to a larger size and more or less round shape with a soluble outer coating. The seed itself is in the middle, like a peachstone in a peach. The average size of the pellet is a little larger than a BB shot. TWO KINDS OF COATED SEED Coated seeds are of two kinds. One kind has the coating made up mainly of inert ash with a water-soluble cellulose binder. The other kind con- tains no cellulose but the coat- v ing is built up on the seed by q\ rolling it in slightly moistened r^clay dust. The coated seed is then dried, and the clay ^ hardens. Either method of coating may incorporate fungicides, hormones, or fer- tilizer. Our own experiments lead us to prefer the clay-dust type of coating, which is called Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Associated Seed Growers, Inc; Henry G.
