can table, possessing highly valuable and health 
giving qualities; easily grown, requiring but little 
attention and in sections where the soil is rich, very 
profitable crops are produced. 
Select a rich piece of ground, the richer the 
better; and for late spring and early summer use, 
sow the seed during February, March and April 
in drills one foot to 20 inches apart, one-half to

thin out to 4 to 6 inches apart, or sow the seed 
thinly and allow all the plants to stand.

drills or broadcast during August, September and

make a vast improvement in the earliness, size 
and quality of the crop.
