Culture .—The permanent bed should be trenched or ploughed very 
deeply, and well manured with rich, thoroughly decayed manure. Set the 
plants 18 inches apart in rows, carefully spreading out and separating 
the roots and deep enough to admit of the top of the plants being covered 
6 inches. In November the plants should have their annual top-dressing 
of manure after the stalks have been cleared away.
