Sow seeds the first or second week in April in hot-bed or cold-frame. As soon as the plants have attained a 
height of three inches, transplant in prepared border, setting them four inches apart. In order to secure “stocky” 
plants, cut off the tops once or twice before again transplanting into richly manured soil, in rows four feet apart, and 
from seven to nine inches plant to plant. Keep down all the weeds, and as fall approaches diaw earth up to the 
plants, keeping the stalks well together. When well blanched it is ready for use. For winter use it is usually placed 
in frames and covered with litter, or stored in pits or cold cellars. Some of the varieties, such as Golden Self- 
Blanching and White Plume, may be blanched by simply placing a board 12 to 15 inches wide on edge on each side 
of the row, and to hold them in place tack bits of laths across the rows at the top. The turnip-rooted variety does 
not require blanching, and may be planted in rows one foot apart. One ounce of seed produces about 3000 plants .
