Culture — Used for soups and mixed salads on account of its 

 pleasant acid flavor. Also makes delicious boiled greens. Sow 

 seed in any good garden soil, in shallow drills a foot apart. Thin 

 plants to 6 or 7 inches apart and remove seed stalks as soon as they 

 appear. When ready to gather, select only the largest leaves, 

 thus insuring a continuous supply. One planting will last for 3 or 4 

 years. One ounce for 200 feet of drill.
