As early in March as the soil is in worlcing order, commence operations by levelling the ground^ toith a 
rake, and tread it firmly ; draw shallow drills 9 inches apart, along lohich sow the seed thinly a,nd 
regularly. Cover the seeds with fine soil, pressing it down on the drills or beds by the of a light 
roller, or the back of a spade. When the young plants are strong enough, thin them gradually so that 
they stand, after the final thinning, 5 or 6 inches apart.
