One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds for an acre. 
Culture—One of the few crops that will do well in all soils though a 
good, deep, friable loam will produce the best looking roots. For an early 
supply, sow seeds of early sorts as soon as the soil can be dug, placing rows 
18 to 24 inches apart and thinning out seedlings to stand 2 to 3 inches apart 
in the row. Make repeated sowings every 2 weeks. For a winter supply, 
sow the larger growing firm-fleshed varieties like Danvers, Rubicon, etc., 
any time during May. The much larger stock varieties should be thinned 
out to stand 6 to 8 inches apart in rows, 2} to 3 feet apart. Varieties marked 
with a star are the best for stock feeding.
