Excerpt from Tree, Shrub, Perennial and Fruit Seeds for Ornamental and Forestry Purposes: Price List, 1921-1922 The seed beds should be three feet wide and sow the seed broadcast; after sowing, cover to the depth of about the thickness of the seed with light sandy soil and gently press the beds with the back of a spade to bring the earth in contact with the seeds. Shade is an essential, as seeds germinate best in dark ness; this can be accomplished by either making a lath sash or a light covering with forest leaves or very well-rotted manure. The lath sash is, however, the best. This can be made with building laths made into handy frames and fas tened on post about 18 inches above the ground. The leaves, manure or sash should be removed as soon as the seedling appears, as light is needed. The seeds of Conifers and Evergreen Trees should be sown in the spring and those of a Deciduous nature in the fall. To preserve seeds until the proper planting season: Mix the Conifer and Evergreen seeds in dry sand and the Deciduous seeds, that cannot be planted in the fall, in slightly moist soil; keep the soil in a damp condition until ready to sow in the spring. Seeds which have hard shells such as Gymnocladus, honey and black locust. If not sown in the fall, are best soaked for a day or so and then at once sown.
