If the seed is sown where the plants are to grow, the last harrowing should be done with the Meeker harrow or some tool which will fit the surface equally well. Seed and Sowing. The number of seeds in a pound varied in 1905 from 87,000 in the case of Danish Ball to 143,000 in the case of Surehead. The viability varied from 71 per cent, to 92 per cent, in dififerent varieties. Since seed is liable to convey the germs of black-rot, it may be treated by dipping it in a solution of form- alin of the strength of one part of formalin to 240 parts of water, and then drying be- fore sowing. In dry- ing, spread the seed thinly and dry as Fig. ii.—Stirehead.
