 appears in the market, but cannot compare with the Sugar varieties, which are the best for boiling for table use. 



Early Narragansett is the hardiest of the sweet varieties, and can be planted the first, at least a week or ten days 

 before the other sorts.

 the ground has become warm, and for a succession, continue planting every two weeks, until the middle of July, 

 in rich, well-manured ground, in hills' 3 feet apart each way, covering about half an inch, and thin out to 3 plants, 

 or in rows 4 feet apart, and to stand 8 inches apart in the rows. 



The field varieties should be planted 4 feet apart each way, leaving 3 plants stand to a hill.
