for private use, they are generally sown in

varieties are staked up by the brush. For an 
early crop, sow in March, as soon as the 
ground can be worked, and make repeated 
sowings every two weeks for succession. After 
the first of June, sowing should be discon- 
tinued until the middle of August when a good 
crop can sometimes be secured by sowing an 
early sort.
