 18 inches. Sow early in the spring in 

 drills 15 inches apart; cover the seed 

 with fine soil 1% inches in depth, and 

 when the plants are strong enough 

 thin out to 6 inches apart. As tht

 to produce a further supply. The 

 plant is entirely hardy, and, starting into growth early the 

 following spring, will afford a lar^e supply of fine "greens" 

 quite early.
