For early, the seed should be sown in hotbeds during February or the first week in March, in drills 5 inches apart 
and half an inch deem Later sowing may be made until the last of April. When the plants are 3 or 4 inches high 
they should be set out 4 or 5 inches apart in another hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots, allowing a 
single plant to the pot. Expose to the air as much as poSsible to harden. Water freely at time of transplanting, and 
ehelter from the sun a few days until the plants are established. Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines will 
permit, but the last two or three peerings should be very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especially if 
o near the ants.
