As early in the spring as the ground can be worked, sow the 
Seeds—previously soaked in water for about 24 hours——in rows 
about a foot apart. Cultivate between the rows frequently, 
to keep the soil loose and the weeds down. The second year 
the plants will be ready for planting in permanent beds, Pre- 
pare the ground by working in a liberal quantity of barnyard 
manure. Set the plants from 15 to 18 inches apart, or when 
large quantities are grown for market, set 3 or 4 feet apart, 
which permits horse cultivation. In planting, spread out the 
roots carefully and cover 
with about 6 or 8 inches of
