any good garden soil, and requires so 
little care that all who havethepround 
at their disposal should raise cnoufih 
for their own use, and especially as the 
quality depends almost entirely on its 
crisp freshness. The earliest sowing 
may be made in February or March, 
under glass, with slight heat. For 
later supply sow in the open ground 
as soon as the season will permit, in 
rows one foot apart, and thin out. 
plants one foot apart in rows.
