CULTURE. — Rampion is a vegetable which mag be used rooked or as a salad, but it is not 
nearly so much grown as it should be, especially when considered what a good substitute if is for Radishes

obtain in a tender condition. Sow seed on a light porous soil m drills not less than six inches apart, 
and having covered them with about a quarter of an inch of soil, well tread the bed over and rake down 
smoothly. When the seedlings are well through the ground , thin them out to not less than four inches 
apart. After about three weeks give the bed a thorough soaking with water, and the crop will In- assured 
unless the weather prove dry for a very long period , when duplicate waterings will be of great benefit. 
To secure a continued supply it is well to make several sowings, cue early hi the mouth of April , one about 
the third week in May , and a third and last about the same time in dune.
