Have the mould thoroughly pulverised before sowing, and prepare an extra quantity to use for covering the seeds. This I do by half filling a rather fine colander and shaking it over the box until there is an even layer over the seeds. The average small flower seed should not have more than the fourth of an inch over it. A board that will fit inside the box should be pressed down hard, to insure the seeds being firmly embedded in the mould. Otherwise the air gets around them and dries up and kills the first frail germs of life. After planting and patting down, sprinkle lightly, and stand the boxes in a south or southwest window in a living room where the temperature averages sixty degrees. The boxes must be watched for what is called “damping off.” It can easily be detected by the sickly appearance of the seedlings, followed by a shrivelling or burning of the stem close to the earth. The moment the danger signal is noticed, prick out into fresh boxes of corresponding size or a trifle deeper. The seedlings need not be planted more than half an inch apart. Prepare the mould in the boxes the same as you did for the seeds, pat down, and with a toothpick make the holes in which the baby plants are to be put, firming the earth around them gently with the forefinger of each hand. Should no suggestion of debility appear among the seedlings, still prick out into fresh boxes when the second leaves unfold. “Bovee” potatoes, for early garden crop 1 peck, $0.75 Carrots, “Oxheart” 1 ounce, .10 Cauliflower, “Early Snowball” 1 packet, .25 Celery 1 packet, .10 Beets 2 ounces, .20 Brussels sprouts 1 packet, .10 Cabbage, “Jersey Wakefield” 1 packet, .15 Cabbage, “Autumn King” 1 packet, .15 Kale, “Dwarf Green” 1 ounce, .10 Lettuce, “Boston Market” 1 ounce, .15 Peas, “First of All” 1 pint, .15 Peas, “Petit Paris” ½ pint, .10 Peas, “Champion of England” 1 quart, .30 Turnips, “Early Flat Dutch” 1 packet, .05 Turnips, “Purple Top Aberdeen” 1 packet, .05 Turnips, “Rutabaga” 1 packet, .10 White onion sets 1 quart, .25 Red onion sets 1 quart, .25 Onion seed, “Prizetaker” 1 ounce, .20 Cucumber, “White Spine” 1 packet, .10 Eggplant, “New York Spineless” 1 packet, .10 Tomato, “Crimson Cushion” 1 packet, .10 Pepper, “Ruby King” 1 packet, .10 Muskmelon, “Delmonico” 1 packet, .10 Squash, “Long Island” (summer) 1 packet, .10
