Sow the seed thinly in rows 1 foot apart in April or May (4 to 5 pounds to the acre) and keep down all weeds. To secure strong, healthy plants, thin the seedlings to 3 or 4 inches in the rows, saving only the strongest. The one-year-old plants should be set out in the spring in rich, sandy loam, dug 18 inches deep, into which has been worked a plenty of well- rotted manure. If a stiff clay soil is all that can be had, add a 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, 3 rows in a bed, the outer being each 1 foot from the edge, and allow 18 inches between rows. Set the plants from 4 to 6 inches below the surface. If set out in autumn, top-dress with 6 inches of manure. This variety which has been selected by the United States Department of Agriculture has proven to be nearly rust free. The shoots are thick and heavy. They are long and straight with closely folded tips. The color is rich dark green tinted deeper at the tips. It is a very heavy yielder of exceptionally fine flavor.
