For a successive supply sow from the middle of March until September, at intervals of two or three weeks. Sow in a hotbed for an early supply. One Of., to lOO feet of drill; S to 10 lbs. per acre in drilLs. 'SAXA''—A fiery scarlet, perfectly globular in shape, the leaves small and the root the thinnest possible tail.
