CULTURE.—Sow the seed in hot beds 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 be 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. 
Some varieties do well in a cool forcing house during winter.
