Publisher description
Excerpt from J. M. Thorburn and Co. 'S Annual Descriptive Catalogue of Flower Seeds, With Practical Directions for Their Culture and Treatment, 1864: Also, a List of 115 Varieties of Beautiful French Hybrid Gladiolus, and Other Spring Bulbous Roots; Flower Seeds, From Their Compactness and Light Weight, Can Be Safely Transported by Mail to Any Part of the United States, With Punctuality and Expedition Hardy annuals (ha). - These seeds should be sown in May and June. The second sowing, to succeed the first, should be a month or six weeks after it. They may also be sown in pots the beginning of April, if they can have the protection of a cucumber-frame or green-house. The soil for pots, in which to sow them, should be light and rich; and when sown in the garden, the earth should be made fine, -and if light compost, such as a mixture of garden-soil and old manure in equal parts, it will advance the growth and strength of the plants if a spadeful is placed where each patch of seed is to be sown. The most effective way is, to sow the seeds in patches where they are intended to bloom. All small seeds should only be covered with soil an eighth of an inch thick - but large seeds - such as Sweet Peas - should be placed at a depth of an inch or 80. Care must be taken to give support to such Annuals as require it, whether climbers or not, as soon as they are three or four inches high, - otherwise, they will trail on the ground and not grow strong. The earth round each patch of Flowers must be kept loose and open by the hoe, and free from weeds. In dry weather, some may require water; but none need be given at the time of sowing, unless the soil is very dry.
