give plenty of room until danger of frost Is over. Then set in 
very rich, well-drained soil in rows four feet apart and two feet 
apart in the row. The plants can be raised in seed beds out of 
doors, but in that case will not be likelv to produce heads the

protect the crowns with leaves or straw to prevent severe 
freezing.

which has been worked plenty of well-rotted manure. Plant in 
rows fifteen inches apart, and twelve inches apart in the rows 
Spread out the roots all round and carefully shake the soil in 
amongst the roots and cover to the depth of four inches. On
