plants are 3 inches high, transplant into a prepared border, setting them 4 inches 
apart. When grown 6 inches, and fine stocky plants, set in richly manured, deep 
_soil, in rows 3 feet apart, and about 9 inches from plant to plant. Water, if dry 
weather follows transplanting. During the next two months all the attention re-

at intervals until only the tops of the leaves are visible late in autumn. Never 
hoe or earth up when the plants are wet. 1 ounce oj seed produces about 4,000 plants.
