planted in rows 18 inches apart, or, 20 to 25 lbs., when

15th of November, and when the plants are large enough, thin from 4 to 
6 inches apart. For spring crop, sow from February to April.

Our seed is produced from stock

as savoyed as the Norfolk or

most of the so-called “blight-resist- 
ant” strains being offered in the

leaves are slightly savoyed and 
quite dark in color. For shipping
