This is a highly esteemed vegetable in the South, and no garden, whether small or 

 large, is without it. It is used in making "Gumbo," a dish the Cre, les of 'Louisiana know 

 better how to prepare than any other nationality. It is also boiled in salt and water, and 

 served with vinegar as a salad, and is considered a wholesome dish. Should not be planted 

 before the ground is warm in spring, as the seeds are apt to rot. Sow in drills, which 

 ought to be two to three feet apart, and when up, thin out, and leave one or two plants 

 every twelve or fifteen inches.
