Sow the seed % inch deep in open ground as soon as fit 
to work in April, or for very early use in hot bed or cold 
frame. Pressing in the seed has often been found more satis¬ 
factory than covering. Cut the tops off once or twice before 
planting out, to make them stocky. When the plants are 
5 or 6 inches high, transplant to rows 2 feet apart and set 
the plants 6 inches apart in rows. Water freely and shade 
from sun until established. Cultivate well, and when large 
enough blanch by earthing up or by partly shading the rows
