The ground where the seeds are to be sown should be dug and 
thoroughly pulverized in the course of the present month, to 
prepare it for their reception. The middle of March is the most 
proper time for sowing them. Let it be done when the earth is 
dry* and in a pleasant working condition. The only point to 
which attention need be directed in the operation is to avoid 
burying them too deeply: as a rule, the larger seeds do not re¬ 
quire to be covered with more than an inch and a half of soil, or 
rather less if it be at all retentive; and if the smaller kinds are 
just hid it will be sufficient, observing to break the soil finely, to 
sow thinly, and to separate and transplant all that may require it 
as soon as they can be handled.
