apart in row. Rows should be furrowed out so plants may be 
set 6 inches deep. Later, soil may be banked against rows for 
blanching, even so-called self-blanching 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 five thousand plants.
