seed is sown inside about March 15th and transplanted to open ground May Ist to 15th. Set plants 12 to 16 
inches apart in 18 inch rows.

tip-burn and are bred to head better under hot weather conditions than will Imperial 44. Great Lakes produces 
a larger plant than Cornell 456 and is especially adapted to upland soils.
