Culture—The seed should be sown as early 
as possible after all danger of frosts is over. 
A good plan is to burn a quantity of rubbish 
and brush in the spring on the ground where 
the crop is to be grown, then dig and thor¬ 
oughly pulverize the earth and mix with the 
ashes, after which the seed may be sown and 
covered very lightly. When the plants are 
about 6 inches high transplant into rows 4 or 
5 feet apart each way; cultivate thoroughly 
with plow and hoe.
