CULTURE—Ordinary good garden soil is suitable. The ground should 
be well drained to avoid water lying too long and becoming sour. Select 
for a location in your garden a place open and airy and which receives the 
sun all day. 
Care will repay the planter. Supply a good amount of stable manure 
and bone-meal. A mulch of shredded cow manure when started is bene¬ 
ficial. 
Inoculate the seed to insure success. Sow in trenches about four inches 
deep and cover to a depth of two inches, still allowing the center of the 
trench to remain at least two inches below the level of the ground, that 
water may be retained.
