For the successful cultivation of this root the soil should be light (sandy soil is best) and deeply tilled. For 

 an early crop the seed should be sown as early as the ground can be properly worked. For later crops it may be 

 sown any time until about the middle of June. Sow in rows about 15 inches apart. The seed can be best sown by 



mixing it in moist sand. Keep down weeds. Thin out young plants 

 as soon as they can be handled, leaving them about four inches apart.
