die or be very much injured. Besides, the young plants are not- 00 

 well rooted as they are when allowed to remain until September. I 

 have always had better success by transplanting in September than 

 earlier in the season, unless it be in the spring.

There is but little choice between April and September, except it be 

 that plants carefully planted in autumn will give a fair crop the next 

 season, while those planted in spring will bear scarcely any fruit until 

 the following year. Some cultivators make a practice of planting in 

 September and taking a crop from the plants the following season, 

 and then plow the plants under and plant again. To have this plan 

 work successfully, it is only necessary to have the ground very rich, so 

 that the plants will become very strong by the time they come into 

 fruit.
