CULTURE—One 02. for 100 ft. 
of drill; five to six lbs. tn drills for 
an acre. For an early crop, seed 
may be sown in cold-frames in 
February or March, transplanting when large enough 
to handle in April or May. Regular open-ground sow- 
ing should be made about the latter part of April or 
early May in latitude of New York, in soil that has 
been manured the previous year. Sow about one-half 
inch deep in rows one foot apart, and then thin out to 
three inches apart in the rows. 
Clean cultivation and a regular weekly or bi-weekly 
spraying with Nicotine Spray or Tartar Emetic (see 
pages 138 and 139) will control Thrip or white blast, 
which is quite prevalent some seasons, and thus insure 
healthy, perfectly formed bulbs.
