Culture. — iSelect light sandy soil ; spade deeply 

 and manure well. For early crop, sow in hot- 

 beds in February or March. For main crop, sow 

 at intervals from early spring until last of Sep- 

 tember, in deep, rich soil. Broadcast sowing is 

 allowable, but drilling is more professional ;

 growth.
