being largely grown for stock feeding. Seed about

rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Seed should be sown thinly, 
and if plants come up closer than one inch, they must 
be thinned out. Sow at intervals for succession until 
about the middle of May when the long sorts should 
be sown; about July 1st, the winter varieties.
