Time to Plant—Sow early in the Spring (about 
April 20) and at intervals until about July 25. 
Soil Preparation—light, rich soil is best. Do not use

soil is excellent; also a standard vegetable fertilizer 
with a high potash content. 
Planting—Sow the seed thinly in rows, thin to two 
inches apart. Allow about 1% feet of space be- 
tween rows,
