Sow the seed inch deep in open ground as soon as fit to 
work in April, or for very early use in hot bed or cold frame. 
Pressing in the seed has often been found more satisfactory 
than covering. Cut the tops off once or twice before planting 
out, to make them stocky. When the plants are 5 or 6 inches 
high, transplant to rows 2 feet apart and set the plants 6 
inches apart in rows. Water freely and shade from sun until 
established. Cultivate well, and when large enough blanch by 
earthing up or by partly shading the rows with boards. One 
ounce will produce about 4,000 plants; will mature in about 
6 months.
