Extensively grown, especially in the south during the 
fall, winter and spring. The leaves are used principally for 
greens A favorite way is to cook them with bacon. Also 
used for garnishing. 
Where climate permits seed may be sown any time 
from August to October, broadcast or preferably in drills 
eighteen inches apart so that the plants when small may 
be cultivated. The quality is improved rather than in¬ 
jured by frosts if not too heavy. Farther north sow in 
April or May in rich light soil in rows two to three feet 
apart and where plants of the largest size are desired 
thin to two feet apart in row. It is better not to cut or 
handle the plants while frozen, but if this is unavoidable, 
thaw them out in cold water. The young shoots which 
start up in the spring from the old stumps are very 
tender and make excellent greens.
