18 to 24 inches apart and 43-inch deep. Thin out the plants to stand 6 
inches apart in the row. The seed germinates slowly, plants taking from 
three to four weeks to make their appearance and sometimes failing to 
come up in dry weather. To insure prompt germination, soak the seed 
a few hours in warm water, or sprout in damp earth, and sow when it 
swells or sprouts. For winter use, protect in a frame or light cellar. One
