Table Varieties 
Sow as early as the ground 
can be worked and every two 
weeks after, up to the first 
week of July for a succession. 
For general crop sow after 
middle of May. Sow in drills, 
1 foot to 15 in. apart, and 
when well up thin from 4 to 6 
in. Soil should be light, sandy 
loam, well enriched—very 
little danger of getting too 
rich.
