not put it in the sun, but keep it in some cool 
place and damp it occasionally. Sow the seed 1 inch 
deep in damp soil, 2 inches deep where the sun 
strikes very strongly. Do not plant theseed too 
deep, as it will spoil the seedling. 2 inches is deep 
enough for anything. After planting, put some 
jungle over each tully, to keep the damp in the soil 
Another advantage of this is that any soil, which is 
washed down hill, falls on to the top of the jungle, 
and when this is taken off, the earth is thrown 
off at same time. Take the jungle off in May, 
directly the seedlings begin to show above the 
surface, and loosen the soil of the tullies with 
a small fork, as in some oases it will have got 
caked and hard and prevent the seedlings showing 
up. If possible do nothing but hand weeding 
for the first year, but if the jungle gets at all, 
long -sickle it and hand weed the tullies, If

days) it draws the seedling up, and if there is
