Excerpt from 1894 Annual Descriptive Catalogue: Seeds Fourth - That failures often occur through seed being deposited too deep in the ground, or -1eft too near the surface; sometimes, for want of sufficient seed in' a given spot, solitary plants perish, lacking strength to Open the pores of the earth; and very often injudicious management in manuring and preparing the soil will cause failures. To insure a fair chance, plant your seed moderately thick, and thin out the surplus plants while young. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
