By MARGUERITE SMITH WHEN YOU ONCE begin planting seeds, there's no telling where the matter will end. You start out with zinnias. A few easily planted seeds go in the good Hoosier earth and prepently you have sinnias. But does it end there? Oh, no. Next thing you know you're yearning for orchids. And orchids are quite another Kettle

Shelbyville, : ; A~Sowing seeds, whether grass or poppies, on top of the last snow is standard garden advice that simply means, do it early. Shirley poppies and larkspur are two annuals that will do a 100 per cent better in our "climate if you sow the seeds in February when it peems much too early. The snow has nothing to do with it (even if you're such a good weather prophet you can guess which is the “last” one) except that it does provide some moisture. 80, simply sow the seed whenever the ground is nicely moist.

Once they've sprouted, youf 10 fingers won't be enough for the delicate job of transplanting. You'll need a couple of extra in the form of tweezers to get the darlings out of their gelatinous seed bed.
