feet each waj 7- , according to the variety grown, or the richness of the soil in which it is planted. 



The taller the variety, or richer the soil, the greater should be the distance apart. We make our 



first plantings in this vicinity about the middle of May, and continue successive plantings every 



two or three weeks, until the first week in July. In more southerly latitudes, planting is begun 



a month earlier, and continued a month later.'
