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 early 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 with straw on the approach of severe cold 

 weather. The ground cannot be too rich ; the stronger the 

 ground the more delicate and succulent will be the leaves. 

 Sow the New Zealand variety in hills 3 feet apart each way, 

 three or four seeds to hill, or can start in heat and transplant; 

 it can be cut for use all summer.
