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.

waukee Market for main crop, 
and the small Gem type for extra 
early. 1 oz. to 500 hills; 2 to 3
