 as the early sorts. I have tried a variety, and find 

 none answer near so well as a kind which are said to 

 have came originally from Rhode Island ; they are not 

 as soon fit for the table as the earliest variety, but by 

 harvest are as large, and soon attain perfection ; only 

 few grow at the root, and those mostly large and closely 

 set to the stem, and will produce large crops if planted 

 very close in the row ; if planted among corn, they 

 should be first put in, that they may get as forward as 

 possible before the shade of the rows becomes inju- 

 rious.
