 end of February, a second early in August, and a third 

 early in September. 



Sow in drills, six inches apart. The only cultivation 

 required is frequent hoeing, the plants being thinned to 

 four inches asunder. They should always be eaten quite 

 young. In summer, the whole plant may be cut, as they 

 soon advance to seed at this season ; but in spring and 

 winter the outer leaves only should be gathered, -as for 

 spinach.

 be left ungathered from. They flower in June, and per- 

 fect their seed during the two following months.
