In four or five weeks they will be of suf- 

 ficient growth for final removal. 



Planting. Set them in rows two feet 

 and a half apart each way ; the last plan- 

 tationmay be six inches closer. They must 

 be wateredand weeded; and some of them 

 being of large spreading growth, the 

 earth can only be drawn about their 

 stems during their early growth. If, 

 during stormy weather, any of those 

 which acquire a tall growth, are blown 

 down, they should be supported by 

 stakes, when they will soon firmly re- 

 establish themselves. 



To raise seed select such plants of each 

 variety as are of the finest growth, and 

 either leave them where grown, or re- 

 move them during open weather in 

 November, or before the close of Feb- 

 ruary, the earlier the better, into rows 

 three feet apart each way, and planted 

 deeply. The seed ripens about the be- 

 ginning of August.
