deep; thin to 6 inches in rows. Cultivate the same as carrots or parsnips. It is hardy; can

growing; take up a supply for use during the winter. Succeeds best in a light, wcU-enriched, 
mellow soil. Used the same as carrots; or, after having been boiled, it may be made into 
cakes and fried like oysters, which it resembles in flavor. One ounce for 50 feet of drill.

in rows 12 inches apart; cover it an inch deep. Many broadcast the seed, covering wiih a

and early spring crops. Use straw or "strawy ' manure when really cold weather comes.
