first week in May until August in Connecticut. Plant in 
drills 11%4 inches deep and from 2 to 2% feet apart, ac- 
cording to the method of cultivation. The plants should 
be about three inches apart. Use about one quart to

variety are for comparative earliness, and indicate the 
number of days from sowing to table stage, under favor- 
able conditions.
