heads in well rogued fields. Sow seeds of the early varieties in 
February in hotbeds and transplant latter part of April or early 
in May to open ground, or an early sowing in open ground can be 
made as soon as weather will permit. Set the plants in rows 2 feet 
apart and 12 to 18 inches apart in the row. The second early 
varieties sow in April and transplant in May; late varieties, sow 
in May and transplant in July, setting plants in rows 3 feet apart
