(One ounce will produce 7,000 plants) 
(-ounce to the 100 feet of row; 2 ounces to acre) 
Sow seeds in a hot bed or cold frame. As soon 
as the plants are about 3 inches high, transplant to 
a well prepared bed, setting them 4 to 5 inches 
apart. When some 8 inches high, and the plants 
stocky, set them in trenches. Earth up a little 
during the Summer, keeping the leaf stocks close 
together so that the soil cannot get between them. 
Finish earthing ujj in Autumn. Never hoe or earth 
up in moist weather. 
Keep the seed bed moist to insure quick ger¬ 
mination and vigorous growth.

growing with very full heart which bleaches 
quickly to a rich golden yellow color. Of very
