"I am very glad to hear that the
Gardener has saved so much of the St. foin seed, and that of the India
Hemp. Make the most you can of both, by sowing them again in drills. . .
Let the ground be well prepared, and the Seed (St. loin) be sown in
April. The Hemp may be sown any where. "
George Washington wrote those lines in 1794 while he served as the first U.S. President and lived at the corner of 6th and Market Streets here in Philadelphia.
