SAINFOIN. 



" The sowing of sainfoin seed ought never to be 

 deferred longer than the beginning of March, but 

 it is still better to complete this work in February, as 

 there is generally at that time a degree of moisture in 

 the ground sufficient to accelerate the vegetation of 

 the plants ; whereas, if the seed were sown at a later 

 period, and a dry spring should take place, great 

 part of it would never vegetate, and that which did 

 grow, would be liable to be destroyed in its infan- 

 tine state by the fly." Bannister.
