The seed may be sown from January to April for Summer use, and in August and September for Winter 
and Spring use. The temperature of the seed bed should range from'ys to 85 degrees ; a rich,' loamy soil 
suits them best. Experiment has shown that they require a large amount of nitrogen and phosphate manures. 
An excellent top dressing may be made by mixing four parts of Clibrans’ Nitrogen Manure with five parts of 
Clibrans’ Phosphate Manure. This should be appUed at intervals of six weeks, at the rate of s ozs. to the 
square yard.
