Extensively grown, especially in the south during the 

 fall, winter anil spring. The leaves are used principally for 

 greens. A favorite way is to cook them with bacon. Also 

 used for garnishing. 



Where climate permits seed may be sown any time 

 from August to October, broadcast or preferably in drills 

 eighteen inches apart so that the plants when small may 

 he cultivated. The quality is improved rather than in- 

 jured by frosts if not too heavy. X<'artlier north sow in 

 April or May in rich light soil in rows two to three feet 

 apart and where plants of the largest size are desired 

 thin to two feet apart in row. It is better not to cut or 

 handle tlie plants while frozen, but if this is unavoidable, 

 thaw them out in cold water. The young shoots which 

 start up in tlie spring from the old stumps are very 

 tender and make excellent greens.
