Plant in warm, rich soil in hills 

 4 feet apart, placing 8 or 10 

 seeds in each hill, and when dan- 

 ger from insects is past, thin out 

 the plants to 4 of the strongest. 

 Pinch the ends of the most vig- 

 orous vines. In this latitude it is 

 advisable to start the seed in 

 paper pots indoors, or between 2 

 pieces of inverted turf, to insure 

 an early crop. 



For the home garden use Mil- 

 waukee Market for main crop, 

 and the small Gem type for extra 

 early. 1 oz. to 500 hills; 2 to 3 

 lbs. per ocre.
