soups, meats, etc. Grows best in mellow, rich soil. 
Sow thickly early in April in rows I foot apart and 
A inch deep; thin out the plants to stand 6 inches 
apart in the rows. The seed is slow of germination, 
taking from three to four weeks to make its appear- 
ance, and often failing to come up in dry weather. 
To assist these coming up quicker, soak the seed a 
few hours in warm water, or sprout in damp earth 
and sow when it swells or bursts. For winter use, 
protect in frames or light cellar.

grown for edging and good for flavoring. One of the
