 perature is never below 60 degrees. 

 When two inches high set out the plants 

 in boxes about four inches apart, or 

 pot singly. About the first of June they 

 may be transferred to the open ground. 

 Set them deeply, four feet apart, and a 

 • shovelful of rotted manure should be 

 mixed in the earth of each hill. If the
