PLANTING AND CULTIVATING. 



Before transplanting, it is well to harden the plants 

 off, and, when ready to remove them, soak the 

 ground thoroughly ; this will cause more soil to ad- 

 here to the roots. A rainy time is preferable for plant- 

 ing out, and this can usually be waited for, though it 

 is really not necessary, as the plants grow very readily. 

 For medium to large varieties, make the rows three 

 feet apart, and put the plants two to three feet apart 

 in the row. They should be planted with a view of doing 

 all the cultivating by horse power. If the season hap- 

 pens to be dry, be sure to give frequent and thorough 

 cultivation, to conserve the moisture of the soil.
