The seed should be sown as early as possible after danger of frost is over. It is customary to burn a quantity of brush 

 and rubbish in the spring on the ground intended for the seed bed; then dig and pulverize the earth and mix with the ashes, 

 after which the seed may be sown and covered very lightly. When the plants are about six inches high, transplant into rows 

 four or five feet apart each way. Cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoe.
