DONOVAN’S MATCHLESS 
When large enough, transplant to a 
raised bed wide enough to hold about 
fourteen rows across 4” to 5” apart 
each way. Have the bed raised in the 
center so water will not settle. Trans¬ 
plant once only. 
We start to cover about Nov. 25th, 
but if the weather is settled and cold 
we start about the 20th. 
Cover with meadow or salt hay, 
avoid anything with weeds or hay seed. 
Shake the covering well to make light 
and have no lumps. Cover the plants 
just out of sight, do not smother them. 
Do not plant too near edge of bed, 
leave a 6” or 7 ” margin on each side 
and have the covering come well over 
the edges, especially on the north or 
west side. 
We pin with a little earth taken on 
the point of the shovel, one on each 
margin and two in center, about 1 1-2 
to 2 ft. apart. Do not uncover until the 
frost is out of the ground in the spring. 
We sow about five pounds of seed and 
almost never lose a plant
