CARE OF SEEDLINGS Seedlings should never be thinned unless after

rain or a light watering with a fine rose on the can, when unwanted plants can be easily pricked out. If necessary, the thinnings can be planted elsewhere in moist soil, but the main object in working a lightly watered bee is to avoid the waste that takes place when the roots of seedlings are disturbed in dry weather.
