When al lowed to grow thick the plants will iot head satisfactorily. Tle Improv ed H[anson is one of the best varieties for planting at this season. In order to have a supply of sal sify (vegetable oyster) for use dur ing the winter months it is neces sary to plant the seed during late IMLarch or early April.
