CULTURE—Plant in a light, rich, deeply worked soil as early as you can work the ground, in drills 12 inches apart 
¥2 inch deep; press the soil firmly after planting and when well up thin out to 3 or 4 inches apart in the row. For 
field culture, make the drills 18 to 24 inches apart; later plantings should be made in July and August for a late 
crop to store for winter. In dry weather soak the seeds before planting. To store for winter, pack in dry earth or 
sand in the cellar or put them outside on a well-drained situation, covering with a few inches of straw and 6 to 8 
inches of earth to protect from frost. One ounce will plant 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds to the acre,
