 seeds in each hill, and when dan- 

 ger from insects is past, thin out 

 the plants to 4 of the strongest.

 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
