1 ounce to 2,000 plants. 
For an early crop sow the seed either indoors or in a hot- 
bed in January or February, transplanting them to 2 or 3 
inches apart, thus allowing the plants to put forth a vigor- 
ous growth before being set in the permanent rows. 
As soon as danger of freezing is over, set the plants in the 
open ground in rows 2% to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart 
in the row. Cultivate often and thoroughly. For fall crop 
sow the seeds during April or May. It is well to plan so 
that the early crop heads before very hot weather and the 
late crop matures after hot weather.
