Many of the failures which occur in the sowing of the very small seeded varieties of Flower Seeds are the result of cover- ing too deeplyâwashing out by too heavy wateringsâor omitting to â water in time, in vehich case they dry oft, or shrivel up. The most snccessfnl vray is to sow the Seeds in shallow seed pans, 2 or 3 inches in depth; fill to within half-inch of the rim with finely sifted soil, â which press down firm and level; scatter the Seeds evenly over the surface, cover with soil to three or four times the depth of the seed you are sowing; the very fine seed should only be pretssed doivn with a board. After sowing cover with a sheet of glass or a wetted sheet of paper until seedlings come through the ground, after â which remove the glass at least enough to admit fresh air or your seedlings will damp or rot off.
