all along with an old shovel and bit of stuff to keep the frost 
out, one time, and the old shovel and a bit of Stuff to keep

of ‘em like Christians ..... sure herd set ’em in the 
chimbly nook on frosty nights, and put bed-quilt over un,

Seed is sown to best advantage from late fall through 
spring though many prefer sowing the freshly harvested 
seed in July and August. Seasonal instructions are outlined 
in the seeding pamphlet. 
We have but one grade of seed, the best that hand-polli- 
nating our finest plants can produce. All seed is from 
current year’s harvest, is picked when fully ripe, properly 
cured and stored at cool temperatures.
