 soil is best) and deeply tilled. For an early crop the Seed should be sown as early 

 as the ground can be properly worked. For later crops it may be -sown any time 

 until about the middle of June. Sow in rows about 15 inches apart, or for field 

 culture 1% to 2 feet apart, covering the Seed about one-half to one inch deep. 

 Keep down weeds. Thin out young plants as soon as they can be handled, leaving 

 them about 4 inches apart.
