 should be sown for early use as soon as the ground can be well prepared, and for succession, at in- 

 tervals of two or three weeks throughout the season, in rich, loose, warm soil, as the quality de- 

 pends largely on its rapid growth. Sow in rows afoot apart, and thin to two inches m the row

 watered. In the heat of summer select a cool, shady place.
