as soon in April as the ground can be 
worked. When the plants are three inches 
high, transplant four inches apart, into 
temporary beds of soft rich soil, where they 
will soon acquire sufficient strength for 
planting out in beds. Plant in rows three 
feet apart, and set six inches apart in rows.' 
If the weather is dry at the time of planting, 
care should be taken that the roots are firm 
in the ground. After the planting is com- 
pleted, nothing further is necessary for six 
or seven weess, except running through 
between the rows with the cultivator or hoe 
and freeing the plants from weeds. About 
the middle of August earthing up is neces- 
sary for blanching and whitening of that 
which is wanted for early use. After the 
soil has been drawn up against the plant 
with, the hoe, it is further pressed close 
around each plant by the hand ; firm enough
