CULTURE— Most successfully grown 

 In a deep, rich loamy soil, and, un-

 ground well in the fall, and turn up 

 in ridges, during the winter, and as 

 early as It will work in the spring 

 rake or harrow thoroughly. Sow thin- 

 ly in drills half an Inch deep, rows 

 12 inches opart, and cover with fine 

 soil, pressing It down. Keep the 

 ground free from weeds and thin out 

 the young plants so they stand 3 or
