Culture: Seed should be sown from the 

 second week of February to the end of April, in 

 flats or hotbed. Two-inch plants should be 

 thinned or transplanted h inches apart to pre- 

 vent crowding that will induce spindly groicth.

 3 feet apart. Use of cutworm guards is recom- 

 mended for protection ivhen the plants are set. 

 Seed may be souni in May for a late crop. A 

 strong support will be required as the plants 

 start groiving vigorously. }/£ oz. of seed pro- 

 duces about 500 plants. Days lo maturity are 

 determined from lime seedlings are set out.
