Culture.—Sow the seeds thinly in rows one foot apart in April or May, and keep down all weeds. Radish or Lettuce seed may be mixed with it, so as to mark the rows readily, and allow the weeds to be de- stroyed as soon as they appear. To secure strong, healthy plants, thin out the seedlings to three or four inches in the rows, saving only the strongest. The one year old plants should be set out in the Spring, in a rich, sandy loam, eighteen inches or more deep, into . sss^^ which has been worked plenty of well-rotted manure. ^"^^^ -s^^M If a stiff clay soil is all that can be had, add plenty of sand to loosen it up, and also see that it is well under- drained.
