CULTURE — For early use, seed should be sown in a box in the house, early in 
March, and when plants are fit to handle transplant into other boxes, 2 or 3 inches 
apart , In Mav again transplant into a well prepared bed outside, 5 or 6 inches between 
plants, where they can stand till wanted to plant out in trenches in June. Dig out a 
trench (throwing the earth to either side equally) say one foot deep, and one foot wide 
s enough for a single row — if for a double row, it should be IK to 2 feet wide. Dig into 
the bottom of the trench a good supply of well-rotted manure and rake smooth. Dibble 
in the plants 6 to 8 inches apart either in single or double rows. As plants grow, fill m 
the earth from the sides to blanch the stems, being careful that none gets into the heart of 
the plans. Continue earthing up till well on in September.
