planting 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 draw earth up to the 
plants, keeping the stalks well together. When well 
blanched it is ready for use. For winter use ic 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
