Where a variety and choice of soil is at command, select 

 that which is rather light for this crop. It must, however, 

 be thoroughly enriched. As early in the spring as the 

 ground can be properly cultivated, lay out the drills for the 

 Seed about a foot apart. Sow the Seed thinly, covering to a 

 depth of 1 inch; when large enough to handle, thin out the 

 plants to about 6 inches apart. 



1 oz. to 50 feet of drill, 5 lbs. to the acre in drills.
