early as you 
can work the 
ground, in drills 
12 inches apart 
and 14 inch 
deep; press the 
soil firmly after 
planting, and 
when well up 
thin out to 3 or 
4 inches apart 
in the row. For 
field culture, 
make the drills 
18 to 24 inches

plantings 
should be made 
in July and Au¬

crop to store for 
winter. In dry 
weather, soak 
the seeds before 
planting. To 
store for win¬

earth or sand 
in the cellar or

tion, covering 
with a few 
inches of straw 
and 6 to 8 inches 
of earth to pro¬ 
tect from frost.

drill; 3 to 4 lbs. 
to the acre.
