although nearly al! around me was much better.
The line for sowing the seed varies with
tAs sc on. II should never be sown TIL the
e5Il.A is warm and IN good condition; and
no, a,3,en up till you wish 10 SOW it. Then
break - your ground deep; harrow, and sow
.an see broadcast, or with seed sowPr; then
harrow over and YOU ire done with it till har |!

season would be from the 10Th to the goth of
