Quantities of Seed Required. 



In giving a table with the object of affording a guide to sowers 

 and planters, I would premise that a difficulty in calculating arises 

 from the fact that it is the custom to sow some seeds broadcast and 

 others in drills. 



Cabbages, Cauliflowers, and Winter Greens generally, Celery, 

 Cress, Endive, Lettuce, Mustard, Radishes, and Turnips are 

 generally sowm broadcast, either in boxes or out of doors, and in 

 most of these cases I have thought it best to state the approximate 

 number of plants that should be produced by a given quantity of 

 seed.
