1 oz. for 50 feet of drill. 



Requires a well enriched, mellow 

 soil, which, previous to sowing the 

 seeds, should be stirred to a depth 

 of 18 inches. Sow early in the 

 spring in drills 15 inches apart; 

 cover the seed with fine soil 134 

 inches in depth, and when the 

 plants are strong enough thin out 

 to 6 inches apart. As the leaves 

 resemble grass, be careful they are 

 not mistaken for it when weeding.

SORREL 



A hardy plant grown for its leaves, which 

 are used as boiling "greens" or salad. Seed 

 should be sown thinly in drills early in 

 spring. When well started thin out to 

 stand 4 to 6 inches apart in the row. The 

 leaves can be gathered for use at any time 

 after the plants are well started in growth, 

 and the roots will continue to produce a 

 further supply. The plant is entirely hardy, 

 and, starting into growth early the follow- 

 ing spring, will afford a large supply of 

 fine "greens" quite early.
