One ounce -will sow 2oo feet of drill. One pound will sow an Extensively used as early spring greens, and con- sidered very healthful. Sow seed in May or June, in anj' good soil, in drills fifteen inches apart, upon beds made smooth with the rake. Cover very lightly, and press the earth firmly upon the seed.
