*Usually started indoors in early spring. 
+Plant in open ground soon as frosts are past in spring. 
On the varieties marked with asterisks that are usually started indoors in early spring 
the seeding rate in columns 1 and 2 is for that method. For sowing direct to the field con- 
siderable more seed would be needed.
