Culture. —Select for this crop deep 
and rich, yet rather light and loamy 
^oil which has been well manured dur¬ 
ing the previous season. For an early 
supply sow as soon as the ground can 
be worked in bprnig, and the main 
crop the first week in May; but for 
winter use sow as late as June. Sow 
in drills about one inch deep, and from 
fifteen to eighteen inches apart, and, 
if possible, select a dry day when the 
ground is in good working order for 
putting in the seed. By soaking the 
seed in tepid water for twenty-four 
hours it will vegetate much sooner.

to <5 pounds of seed will 
sow one iicre. 
The following varieties are especially valuable 
for stock, and I can honestly urge my friends to 
plant them in quantity. On rich soil they give im¬ 
mense crops, are easily raised, harvested and kept 
through the winter. Sow i n drills thirty inches 
apart, on rich, 'ive/l prepared ground, as early in 
the Spring as possible Cultivate well, and when 
the plants are six inches high, thin out and trans¬ 
plant so as to leave them one foot apart in the row. 
In harvesting, take care to bruise or break the 
roots as little as posible, as they will keep better if 
unbroken.
