 danger of frost is past. In transplanting, set in rows about 4 feet apart

Soak the seed 24 hours before planting. Sow in spring in rows about 

 18 inches apart, and 15 to 20 seeds to the foot. Cover 2 inches deep. 

 Thin the young plants to about 1 inch apart. Hoe frequently. Set 

 plants in permanent beds the following spring. 



When planting roots, work the soil to a depth of 16 or 18 inches. 

 Apply stable manure, or peat moss, and fertilizer liberally. Place roots 

 crown up about 2 feet apart in trenches about 4 inches deep and 6 inches 

 wide. Leave the rows about 4 feet apart. A bed 500 square feet in size 

 requires about 100 roots, enough for an average family for 8 or 10 years.

 ered 1 3^ to 2 inches deep. Thin the young plants to 3 to 6 inches apart 

 in the rows. 



Shallow cultivation should be frequent untO blossoming; then stop to 

 avoid injury to the roots. (Root injury causes the blossoms to fall off.)

 ing of the crop insures long bearing. Postpaid in U. S. A.
