This Seed With sorts follow later, as they are not quite so hardy. The tall, late varieties need brush, wire 
or some other support. Though light, warm soil is desirable for the extra early varieties,

Plant the early and dwarf varieties in drills 212 feet apart and 3 or 4 inches deep, cover 
with only 1 inch of soil and fill the trench gradually as plants grow. Plant the taller and 
later varieties in rows 3 or 4 feet apart and 5 to 6 inches deep, covering as already sug- 
gested. The tall, late varieties, plant in double rows.
