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 way. Cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoe.
