One ounce to 3,000 plants. Ten to fifteen ounces to the acre. 
Sow the seed in a well-prepared soil as soon as the ground is in a proper condition to work. Sow 
in drills and tread the seed firmly in; thin out to an inch apart, and keep the ground well worked and 
free from weeds. Make the soil very rich with well-rotted manure, which should be dug in deep. A moist, 
low, rich bottom land or well-drained muck soil is preferable. Set the plants 8 or 12 inches apart. To 
blanch draw earth around the plants from time to time, taking care not to cover the tops of the center.
