CULTURE.— A great deal of this 

 raised for the New Orleans market. It 

 is very popular. Sown from September 

 to the end of March. If the Fall 

 is dry and hot it is useless to sow it. 

 as the seeds require moisture and cool 

 nights to make them come up. The 

 richer the ground the larger the leaves.
