thirty inches apart and the seedlings should 
be thinned out to stand not closer than 8 
inches.

and store in sandy soil in a cool place until 
wanted for forcing. 
The roots should be planted upright about 
1% to 2 Inches apart in a trench 16 to 18 
inches deep. This brings the neck of the 
root within 9 inches of the level of the sur¬ 
face of the trench, which should be filled

to force the root. The heads are then cut 
off with a small portion of the neck of the 
root attached. We recommend this vegeta¬
