rows from 2 to 4 feet apart, according to 
the variety. Begin sowing the extra-early 
varieties as soon as the ground can be 
worked in March ; continue for a succession 
every two weeks until June, then discontinue 
until the middle of August, when a good 
crop may be secured by sowing the extra- 
early sorts for fall use. They should be 
kept clean, and earthed up twice during 
growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as 
hardy as the smooth sorts, and if planted 
early should have a dry soil, as they are 
liable to rot in the ground ; they are, how¬ 
ever, the sweetest and best flavored varieties. 
The dwarf varieties are best suited for small 
gardens.
