Sow the seed in a hot-bed first week iuMarcb.in drills half an inchdeep. When the plants are about 

 two inches high, transplant into another hot-bed or into small pots, one plant in each pot; in that 

 way the plants are strengthened and branch out better. Set the plants ont about the first of June, 

 about three feet apart, for early crop, mixing a shovelful of well-rotted manure in each hill. For late 

 crops, or where the soil is heavy, plant four feet apart. Water freely when transplanting and protect 

 from the sun for a few days until the plants are fairly started. A few plants may be raised by sowing 

 seed in a pot or a box in the house.
