CULTURE. — Sow the seed in hotbeds or flats during February or early March, prick the young seedlings out in flats or cold 

 frame several inches apart each way, and, as soon as a nice, rich, warm spot can he prepared in open ground in spring, transplant 

 the well-hardened plants in rows a foot apart, allowing 8 to 12 inches space between the plants in the row. For succession sow 

 seed thinly in open ground, and thin the plants to 5 or more inches apart. Sow for succession every few weeks until the fall.
