Sow the seeds in March or April in a hot-bed or cold frame. As soon as the 

 plants are 3 inches high, transplant into a prepared border, seating 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-
