Theo, on any spot of grouud at alt fit for vegetation, whcn the senson appioaches for pojriog Ihem, sow the couteuts of the first parcol on the ürst or second day ol the new moou; the second parcel bow Boar tüe sume spot on the first or second d'jy of t!e second quiirter; the third parct-1 snvr on the second or third day before the full moon ; and iastly, sow the fourth gareel on the secpod or third day before tho moon ia out. Now the flrst parcel, 8own uudcr the new moon, will giow very fast, blossom most bcautifully, but wül not bear luuch fruit ; the eijnd will blossom oud bear ïcry liftle; tho third parcol will not only blossom beauüfully, but will bear fruit iu abundauco ; and the fourth and last parcol will Rcarcely risc from thogruund.
