1 ounce will furnish 3,000 to 5,000 plants 

 For on early crop from seeds, start indoors in boxes about the last of February,

 ground in late April, but it is advisable to have a seed bed and to transplant 

 the seedlings to the open field when large enough. It is well to cut off the 

 lower half of the roots of transplanting time, and firming the soil around the 

 plants is very importont.
