tions, where land is less valuable and the culture less intensive, the 

 rows are planted from three to four feet apart thus permitting horse 

 cultivation. In outlying sections, where larger areas are handled, the 

 cost of production will be less if planted at about this distance. 



The distance the plants are set in the row is also more or less variable 

 but three plants to a foot is the general rule in this state. Giant Pascal 

 and other large growing varieties are usually set six inches apart while 

 some growers even prefer a sjiace of eight inches for this variety.
