CULTURE — For the successful cultivation of this root the soil should be light (sandy 

 loam IS best, enriched the previous year with manure) and deeply tilled. For an early 

 crop the seed should be sown as early as the ground can be pioperly worked. For later 

 crops it may be sown any time until about the middle of June. Be careful to compress 

 the soil over the seed after sowing. Sow in rows about 15 inches apart, or for field cul- 

 ture 1^ to 2 feet apart, covering the seed about % to 1 inch deep. Keep dovra weeds

 dled, leaving them about 4 inches apart. 1 oz. 100
