soil, and its cultivation is a very simple matttei. It 
Is grown both us a Siiring and Sunnner crop. For 
early use, sow in August or September, in drills 12 to 
14 inches aiiart. At the approach of cold weather 
cover lightly with straw, or any bandy litter. Un¬ 
cover when the phmts begin to mtike a new growth 
In Spring. For Summer use, sow early in Spring, 
in the same way as above, using rather less seed. 
If the plants stand too thick, thin to 3 or 4 inches 
apart. A liberal dressing of good manure should 
bo used. The land can hardly bo made too rich.

not send up its flower stem and bear seed tlie

mer nmnths with satisfactory results. The leaves
