To secure strong, healthy plants, thin out the seedlings to 3 or 4 inches in the rows, saving only the strongest. The i-year-old plants should be set out in spring, in a rich, sandy loam, dug 18 inches deep, into which has been worked plenty-of well-rotted manure. If a stiff clay soil is all that can be had, add plenty of sand and sifted coal ashes to loosen it up, and also see that it is well underdrained. In planting for private use, set out in beds 5 feet wide, three rows in a bed, the outer being each i foot from the edge, and allow 12 inches in the rows; set the plants at least 6 inches below the surface. If set out in autumn, top-dress with 6 inches of manure. For market on a large scale, set out 4 by ij-z feet. Every fall a good dressing of coarse manure should be applied after the tops have been cut, and in the spring forked in. Never cut too closely. The roots need the benefit of some foliage during the year, else they will weaken and die. Per oz. Colossal. The most approved and standard sort.
