Sow the seed in the seed-bed late in the fall or in the early spring, as soon as the ground can be worked, in 
drills one foot apart, covering the seed about one inch deep. Thin the plants to three inches in the row. The roots 
may be removed to the permanent bed when one or two years old 
spared, as a well-established and carefully cultivated 
years or more. Select deep, rich, mellow soil, an ' 
well-decomposed manure, with a small admixture _ 
or four inches below the surface of the ground in rows three feet apart, and nine inches apart in the row. Apply 
a dressing of manure in autumn (rotten kelp is excellent), digging the same into the ground in the spring, taking 
care not to injure the roots. The bed will produce shoots fit for cutting the second or third year after transplant¬ 
ing. An occasional application of salt will be found beneficial. One ounce to sixty feet of drill.
