 The Time for Sowing the Seed.— We will assume 

 that the seed has been, as already directed, preserved 

 in the capsules, dried, each sort tied up separately in 

 paper bags, and put in some very dry place. From 

 s:er sooner nor 



pick out the finest ; then take two tubs, ma 



rels, or rather casks, as they contain less earth, and are 



not so heavy to move. I am in the habit of using tubs 



I have often remarked a great difference between the

for in the winter I get them in a cellar one upon ai 



soft-soap casks bought at a wool-comber's who did

The seeds thus distributed, you press them dow 



between two beds of soil ; afterward 

 add about a quarter of an inch of old vegetable moult 

 such as you filled your tui. with at first ; this comput 

 preserves its dampness. Lastly, water p! i;ti u y wit 



it. I prevent all such inconveniences by using the syring
