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 w^ay. Cultivate 

 thoroughly with plow and hoe.
