Sow the seed in a hot-bed first week in March, in drills half an inch deep. When t 

 plants are about 2 inches high transplant into another hot-bed or into small pots, o 

 plant in each pot ; in that way the plants are strengthened and branch out better. S 

 the plants out about the first of June, about 3 feet apart, for early crop, mixing a shovi 

 ful of well-rotted manure in each hill. For late crops, or where the soil is heavy, pla 

 4 feet apart. Water freely when transplanting, and protect from the sun for a few da 

 until the plants are fairly started. A few plants may be raised by sowing seed in a p 

 or a box in the house.
