CULTURE-A rich, toler- 
ably deep soil is the best for 
this crop. Soak the seed a 
fe\v hours in tepid water 
and sow in the early spring 
f"ot apart. 
Thin out the plants to 3 or 
4. inches apart. A single 
row forms a very good edg- 
ing for beds or walks. As 
the seed germinates very 
slowly, sometimes two or 
three weeks will elapse be- 
fore the plants make any 
appearance. We desire to 
call particular attention to 
.our Extra Curled, which is 
a most desirable variety.
