the bed. sow on top of the bed 100 pounds kainit to everv
square feet of bed : Incorporate this thoroughly to the
depth of 4 inches. After leveling your bed off even, stretch
a line the length of the bed 9 inches from the edge, and with

the trench 9 inches apart, with the crowns of the roots 2
inches below the surface; then cover up, make even, and
plant the other rows 9 inches apart.
They require no additional manure until the second spring
after setting, when they should have a liberal dressing
