H OW TO SOW VEGETABLE SEEDS “Knowing the proper depths and distances for sowing seeds is a won derful help in giving a V i c t o r y Garden the right start,’’ says Dexter M. Ferry of the Ferry-Morse Seed Co. Too deep planting is worse than too shallow planting, Mr. Ferry warns. In general, depth of plant ing should be only about four times the diameter of the seed. This means one to two inches for large seeds such as beans, peas, sweet corn, and squash. Seeds of the size of beet should be covered about half an inch. Small seeds such as lettuce, carrot, and turnip should be planted no deeper than a quarter of an inch. -“This year especially when Uncle Sam frowns on waste of any kind,” Mr. Ferry goes on to explain, “it is smart to make a packet of seed go as far as possible. If Seeds are sown too thickly, some of the young plants will probably have to be pulled up to give the rest a fair chance to grow. If sown too thinly, there may be gape in the row, and the yield will be disappointing. Knowing the proper distances to plant will help to avoid either extreme. “Large seeds, • when planted in rows, should be spaced three to four inches apart in the row. Sweet corn and squash, when planted in hills should have six or eight aeeds to a hill, the h ills. being spaced three to four feet apart “It la sometimes difficult to sow tiny g e e d a thinly enough.
