hours, sow in drills about 18 inches apart during Spring 
or Fall. Thin plants out to 3 inches apart and give fre¬ 
quent thorough cultivation, keeping them free from 
weeds. The roots should be transplanted when 1 or 2 
years old into a permanent bed of the richest soil you

inches of well rotted manure; cover with 2 inches of soil; 
then place the roots 12 inches apart, with the crowns

should be 5 feet apart. The growth should be cut in the 
Fall after which a top dressing of stable manure should 
be applied, this to be worked into the soil very early the 
next Spring. It is also advisable to sprinkle a little salt
