Thrives best in the richest soil you can give 
it. Plant seed in drills 12 to 14 inches apart, 
using plenty of seed, and cover about an inch 
deep, pressing soil down firmly. For early 
spring, sow in August or September, covering 
the bed lightly during winter with litter which 
should be removed as soon as growing com- 
mences in spring. For summer, sow in spring 
as soon as ground can be worked, thin to 3 
inches apart in row, and for a succession re- 
peat every two weeks. 
One ounce will sow 
100 feet of drill, 
8 to 12 pounds 
for one acre.
