The season for sowing varies, according to the soil, weather, and 

 convenience of the cultivator, extending from the 25th of March to 

 the 15th of June. 



Abbe Brulles. 



Your ground being cultivated in autumn, will, by the winter 

 frost, be ready to receive your seed by the latter end of March or 

 the beginning of April. The moon being on the wane, or declin- 

 ing, is a fit season to sow your seed. 



England's Improvement. 



Hemp should never be sown sooner than the beginning of 

 April. 



M l Donald's Essay, 



The best time for sowing Hemp is between the 1st and 20th of 

 May, according as the season is favourable. AVhen it is sown, it 

 should be carefully guarded against birds, till firmly rooted in the 

 ground.
