This is extensivelj' grown, especially in the south during 

 the fall, winter and spring. The leaves are used principally 

 for greens. A favorite way is to cook them with bacon. The 

 leaves are also used for garnishing. 



Where climate pernnts seed may be sown any time from 

 August to October, broadcast or preferably in drills eighteen 

 inches apart so that the plants when small may be cultivated. 

 The quality is improved rather than injured by frosts if not 

 too heavy. Farther north sow in April or May in rich light 

 soil in rows two to three feet apart and where plants of the 

 largest size are desired thin to two feet apart in row. It is 

 better not to cut or handle the plants while frozen, but if this 

 is unavoidable, thaw them out in cold water. The young 

 shoots which start up in the spring from the old stumps are 

 very tender and make excellent greens.
