SEEDS FOR FALL PLANTING 
We have found that late fall is a good time to plant 
the seeds of most of our perennial honey plants. This 
should be done during the last month before freezeup 
(November in our climate). This puts the seed inte 
the ground when it is too late for it to germinate this 
fall and so the seed will be there ready to start during 
the most favorable time of cool weather and good 
moisture conditions of early spring. | Furthermore it 
is both enjoyable and invigorating to get out and work 
in the garden in those cool days of late autumn. And 
this will be something already done when spring comes 
and most people are busier. In the deep south a good 
time to plant these seeds is mid-winter. 
Make the seedbed as you would for planting any 
kind of small seeds. Regarding depth of planting, a 
fair rule to follow is to plant any seed at a depth of 
four times the thickness of the seed. Remember that 
with very small seed that is almost on top of the 
ground. And it is alright to plant the finer seeds on 
top of a well worked seedbed and they will work into 
the soil during the winter or the seed can be covered 
very lightly by raking. When you have finished plant- 
ing the seed, if your soil is inclined to crust follow- 
ing winter, then scatter a little straw or other loose 
material over the seedbed to serve as a very light 
mulch to prevent this crusting and the surface drying 
out next spring while the seeds are starting.

time for planting the seed of the following good honey
