Plant from the middle of April toJune 10th, to insure crop. As the dry spells which some-times prevail in June are apt either to prevent the ger-mination of the seed or to burn the plants as soon as theyappear above ground, it is therefore advisable to in-crease the quantity of seed which, under the circum-stances, will give the crop a better chance.
