 eties in April in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart, and thin out early to 6 or 9 inche.'i in row?-.. For a succession, sow at intervals

 during the winter, covering the roots with dry sand. They should be harvested before the severe frost sets In., for, 

 though comparatively hardy few will survive the winters of the Northern States in the open ground.
