A succession of sowing can usually be made from the 
first week in May until August in Connecticut. Plant in 
drills 1%4 to 2 inches deep and from eighteen inches to 2% 
feet apart, according to the richness of the soil and method 
of cultivation. The plants should be about three inches 
apart. Use about one quart to each 250 feet of drill. The 
number of days after each variety are for comparative 
earliness, and indicate the number of days from sowing to 
table stage, under favorable conditions.
