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. m _ „, _ ,. .. . _ .„
