 which are used in soups, stews, etc., to which they impart a rich flavor, 

 and are considered nutritious. Sow the seed thickly in rich ground 

 about the middle of May, or when the ground has become warm, in 

 drills 3 feet apart, 1 inch deep; thin to 10 inches apart in drills. Cul- 

 ture otherwise much like corn.
