SOWING SEEDS
USE THESE METHODS. Have ready some dry, powdered lime and some fine dry sand. By shaking a teaspeonful of lime in a packet containing onion, turnip, radish or other dark-skinned seeds, they may be sufficiently whitened to show up the seed against the dark soil. That makes it easier to avoid sowing too thickly. If for any reason one is obliged to halt when a row is partly sown it is easy to see just where to begin again. A spoonful of dry sand can take the place of the lime with such small seeds as lettuce, carrot or parsley.
