It may be grown at any season, but is usually grown for use late in the fall. For an early crop sow in April, in drills lifteen inches apart, and lati'r on thin out to twelve inches in the rows. It can also be sown in beds and transplanted to the above distance after attaining suf- ficient size. The main sowings are made in June and July. Drdinary good soil and cul- tivation is all it retiuires. When nearly full-grown it is blanched in the following manucr: Gather up the leaves and tie them by their tips in a conical form, thereby excludint,' the light and air from their inner leaves', which then blanch to a beautiful yellnw w hite. This process takes two to five weeks, according to the temperature, bleaching fastest in warm weather. Another method is to lay clean boards right over the plants which ex- cludes the air and light. Tic up at dirtercnt times as it only kecjis a short time after blanching. For winter use take up with earth and store in frames or a dry cellar. One ounce sows 100 feet of drill.
