One ounce for 100 feet of drill ; 10 to 13 lbs. In drills for

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

 F"or spring and summer use, sow either broadcast or in drills, 1

 worked, and every two weeks for a succession. For winter and 

 early spring use, sow in September, in well manured ground ;

 ground cannot be too rich; the stronger the ground the more

 seeds to hill, or can start in heat and transplant ; it can be cut 

 for use all summer.
