best in rich mellow

sown quite early in 
the spring, previ- 
ously soaking the 
seed for a few hours 
in tepid water. Sow 
thicltly in rows a 
toot apart and half 
an inch deep. For 
winter use protect 
in a frame or light 
cellar or a few 
„,^'lants may be 
)laced in pots or 
loxes and kept In 
file liouse.
