One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds required to an acre. 
Well-enriched, light soil is best adapted to this crop. Sow in drills 
about a foot apart, covering the seeds about an inch pressing the soil firmly 
over the seeds, which is important to secure good germination, When the 
young plants are two or three inches in height they should be thinned to 
stand six to eight inches apart. A good time to make the first sowing is 
when the trees are starting to leaf, and continue successive plantings every 
three or four weeks until end of July,so that a constant supply of fresh, 
tender roots may be had throughout the season.
