Culture. Much depends on good culture, so 
prepare your land thoroughly and plow deeply. 
Sow from about the middle of March until the 
middle of June, and give thorough cultivation. 
After the first cultivation, thin out, so as to 
stand ten inches apart in the row, and cultivate 
like corn. If late in planting, soak the seed for 
24 hours before planting. Sow 4 to 5 pounds to 
the acre in rows 214 feet apart. 
147—GOLDEN TANKARD. Flesh firm and 
solid, and a rich golden yellow color. On ac- 
count of its peculiar shape they can be grown

ground and is easily pulled. Yields particularly 
well on light soils. Oz., 15¢; 1% lb., 35c; Ib., 
$1.10; 5 lbs., $5.00, postpaid.
