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. In order to secure stock 

 plants, cut off the tops once or twice before trans- 

 planting, which should be about in July. 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 eight or twelve inches apart. To blanch, 

 draw earth around the plants from time to time, 

 ijpnng care not to cover the tops of the center shoots.
