Seed saved from Selected Roots only. 
CULTURE . — The French Scarlet may be sown in frames in December and January; in February, succession sowings may be made oi 
warm borders ; in March, a large sowing may be made ; and for general crop sow about the middle of April, either broadcast on beds or in drills. 
Preference should be given to the drills, as the crop can then more easily be kept clean. As soon as the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin out to 2 or 3 
inches apart at the first thinning ; after a few weeks give a final thinning to 6 or 8 inches distance, and the crop allowed to remain till it has perfected 
its growth in Autumn. It will be found an advantage to mix the seed with a certain amount of soil so that it can be more evenly distributed.
