Can be sown at any time in California, in drills 15 
Inches apart, covering the seed very lightly when 
large enough thin out to 1 foot apart in the rows Or 
the seed may be sown in beds and transplanted. The

requires a great deal of moisture to germinate, and 
when sown in a bed it can be kept moist by spreading 
burlap or sacks over the surface of the ground and 
sprinkled well twice a day; after the seed is germ- 
inated the sacks may be removed, but care must be 
taken to keep the plants well watered. One ounce will 
produce about 3000 plants.
