Culture—The seed should be sown as early as possible after all danger 
of frosts is over. A good plan is to burn a quantity of rubbish and brush 
in the spring on the ground where the crop is to be grown, then dig 
and thoroughly pulverize the earth and mix with the ashes, after which 
the seed may be sown and covered very lightly. When the plants are 
about 6 inches high transplant into rows 4 or 6 feet apart each way; 
cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoe.
