 Culture. For early, sow seed of flat varieties in open ground in spring, in drills one foot or more apart, using seed sparingly. 

 Thin to 3 or 4 inches apart. For succession sow every two weeks until June. For fall and winter sow in July and August. A 

 good crop may often be grown by scattering seed thinly in the cornfield at last cultivation. For Ruta Bagas, sow seed in seed-bed 

 in spring and transplant to good warm soil, in rows at least 2 feet apart and 8 or 10 inches apart in the rows, or sow in open 

 ground during June and early July. Take up the roots just before winter, top and store in cool cellar, or pit outdoors.
