CULTURE — For early, sow seed thinly in open ground in spring in drills 18 to 20 inches apart. Thin out seedlings to 3 or 4 inches 

 apart. For succession sow every two weeks until May 15th. For fall and winter sow in July and August. A good crop may often be 

 grown by scattering seed thinly in the cornfield at last cultivation. For Ruta Baga sow seed in open ground during June and early July. 

 Take up the roots just before winter, top and store in cool cellar, or pit outdoors.
