As early in March as the soil is in working order, commence operations by levelling the ground with a 
rake, and tread it firmly ; draw slwXlow drills 9 inches apart, along which sow the seed thinly and 
regularly. Cover the seeds with fine soil, pressing it down on the drills or beds by the use 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.
