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

 tbere is generally at that time a degree of moisture 

 in the ground sufficient to accelerate the vegetal ioa 

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

 later period, and a dry spriwg should take place, 

 great part of it would never vegetate, and that which 

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

 fantine state by the fly." Bannister.
