Time to Plant—Sow quite early in the Spring 
about April 20 and at intervals, from then until 
about July 25. 
Soil Preparation—A light, rich soil is best. 
Do not use fresh manure for it will cause the roots 
to become scabby. Old, well rotted manure well 
mixed with the soil is excellent; also a standard 
vegetable fertilizer with a high potash content. 
Planting—Sow the seed thinly in rows and 
later thin out so that the nlants will stand about 
2 inches apart. Allow about 11% feet of space 
between rows. 
1 ounce of seed should sow a 50-foot row
