One ounce for 100 feet of drill ; 10 to 13 lbs. in drills for an acre. 



This is an important market gardener's crop, of easy culture. For spring and 

 summer use, sow either broadcast or in drills, 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, as 

 earlv as the ground can be worked, and every two weeks for a succession. For 

 winter and early spring use, sow in September, in well manured ground ; cover
