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 verj- liuhtly. 

 When the plants are 



about six inches high, transplant into rows four or five feet 

 apart each way. Cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoc.
