TRANSPLANTING

The planting and transplanting was made out of doors, on 

 June 1, the hills being similarly prepared. The transplanted 

 plants were obtained by starting the seed in thumb pots and 

 then transplanting into a four-inch pot, from these hardening 

 off in a cold frame, then transplanting.

 with seed outvielded the others when the whole season's yield 

 is considered.
