chosen; whilst for those sown in the heat of the sum¬ 
mer a rather shady spot must be selected. For a suc¬ 
cession, sow every two weeks. The ground where the 
sowing is to be made should be deeply dug and raked 
fine. The seed is generally sown thinly broadcast, in 
beds from 4 to 5 feet wide, with 1-foot alleys be¬ 
tween, the soil from the latter being used to cover the 
seeds, but only slightly. The surface is then raked 
smooth, and in light soils pressed with the back of the 
spade. The winter varieties should be sown in drills 
1 foot apart, and thinned to 6 inches apart in the 
rows, and if roots of large size are required, ns much

sow about 50 feet of drill or a bed of 40 sq. feet.
