readily. It is advisable to mix the seed with builder’s sand, 
using about 25 times as much sand as seed, and then carefully 
broadcast seed on the surface of the ground and firm’ well. 
Plants should be thinned out to stand about 6 inches apart 
for best results. Seed may be sown in rows also and in suc- 
cession up to the middle of May.
