Hints on Gardening For the Amateur

Having soil worked as fine as it can be is one of the moot important details of a successful garden or window box. Amateurs, unaware of thli fact, not Infrequently Ignore the soil condition, entirely after removing stones, or they pulverize it unevenly, leaving great lumps. Unless the soil is very fine, small roots and shoots-that first come from seeds cannot make any growth, for they lack strength to push through m around obstructing lumps. Success lr raising flowers from seeds is assured under normal conditions, if they an started in well screened or sifted soil It is not enough to have It so at th< beginning, however. At no time may the dirt harden and settle, if best results are to be obtained. At all times after the seeds have put forth shoots the soil must be kept fine. Not only then are the roots aided in making growth, but more moisture reachei them. It is practically impossible tc “work” or cultivate a garden toe much, taking care always not to disturb the roots. The amateur gardener who wishei success must take great care in watering seeds or plants. The soil should be kept moist, but not wet There U a great difference between the two conditions, and if wet, rather than damp, rot is apt to set in. Watering seeds and young planti should always be done with a fins sprinkler such as is on the end of • watering pot A heavy stream will pack the soil as well as distribute water unevenly. Covering seeds to their depth wit* son ie a general rule, rather safe tc obeerve. If very fine ones, such ai mignonette, are to be put in, they may be dropped through a sieve or from the thumb and forefinger, using a smooth, thin board to “firm” the soil over. If done With the flat of ths hands it may.not be as even.
