Soil should be richly ma-

as early as the ground can be 
worked, or for late crop until 
latter part of July, in drills, 
15 to 18 inches apart, finally 
thinning plants to about three 
to four inches apart in the 
drill. The seed is slow to 
germinate, and if sown early 
or on moist soil, half an inch 
is gece enough to cover the 
seed.

the gardeners of Danvers, Mass. The roots measure 
from one and a half to two inches in diameter at the
