Much of the material for these artictes {s supplied offctally by the United States Department of Agriculture. ARTICLE IV. How to Make, Prepare and Plant Seed Boxes. ARMERS and market gardeners who raise vegetables in a quantity F greater than that required by the average small family, and who have generous ground space to devote to their agricultural enter- prises, make use of “hotbeds” and “cold frames” to start their plants from four to six weeks earlier than the seeds could safely be planted im the ground. For the small backyard garden, however, a “seed box,” easily constructed and kept and attended to in the house, makes @m | excellent substitute, Any sort of a wooden box filled with good soll answers the purpose, but it should be at least from three to four inches deep, twelve to fourteem Inches wide and from twenty to twenty-four inches long. A layer of about one inch of gravel or cinders should be placed in the bottom of the box, then it should be filled nearly full of rich garden soll, or soll enriched with decayed leaves or animal fertill The soll should be pressed down - firmly with a small piece of board and rows made one-fourth to one- half inch deep and two inches apart crosawise of the box, The seed should be distributed elght or ten to the inch tn the rows and be covered. The soll should be watered and the box set in a warm place in the light, in the sunshine, by a window being best. Water enough must be given from (me to time to cause the seeds to germinate and grow thriftily, but not well above the surface, Transplant~ ing, if properly done, instead of hurt- ing, ma to help such plants de- velop a strong root system, The boxes can also be used to hasten the blooming period of mahy sorte of flow which stand transplanting, In transplanting, remember that plants usually thrive better If trans- planted into ground that has been freshly cult! i, Transplanting to the open garden js best done tn cool, enough to leak through the box, If a|cloudy weather, and in the afternoon, piece of glass Is used to cover the bux,| This prevents (ie su rays from ‘it will hold the motsture in the soil|causing the plant to lose too much 4 hasten a. moisture through evaporation, BSometim: the garden soll is toe dry for successful transplanting, Une der such conditions it is better, first, to put the water In the hole and then put in the plant, rather than to pour the water on after the plant has been transplanted.
