Sow from February to May in drills one foot apart. Later, 
usually in June, transplant to rows three feet apart and six 
inches apart in row. Rows should be furrowed out so plants may be set 
six inches deep. Later, soil may be banked against rows for blanching, 
even so-called self-branching varieties needing the cool, moist soil to render 
the stalks crisp and tender, but this should not be done until a few weeks 
before harvesting. One ounce of seed will produce 5000 plants.

.,,i TMn . Prepare the seed-bed carefully, using only rich and 
CULIURfc. thoroughly pulverized soil. Good results are obtained 
by keeping the plant in a healthy and rapidly growing condition. 
Broadcast the seed in the seed-bed prepared, sowing the early 
varieties from May 15th to July 1st; medium early varieties May 
20th to July 5th; and late varieties any time from June 25th to 
Aug 25th, inclusive. When the plants are 40 days old, they are 
ready for the field. Transplant to 24 inches apart in rows 30 to 
36 inches apart. Do not leave plants in the hot-bed over 45 
days as the stems become hard and poor results follow. Keep 
the plants vigorous and growing.
