Culture. — Sow in rich soil, in drills 1 foot 

 apart, as soon as the ground can be worked 

 in the Spring; thin out to 2 inches apart in

 seed in a hotbed in February or March, and 

 transplanting the seedlings to the open ground

 the seeds as early as possible in the Spring, 

 very thickly, in drills; as soon as the tops 

 die off in Summer remove them to a dry, airy 

 place; and early in the following Spring re- 

 plant by placing the sets in shallow drills, 12 

 inches apart, and 2 inches apart in the drills.
