1 qt. will plant 200 hills ; 8 to 10 qts. to an acre, iu hills. 



CULTURE. — The Sweet or Sugar varieties, being liable to rot in cold or 

 wet ground, should not be planted before May, or until the ground has become 

 warm ; for a succession continue plantnig every two weeks, until the middle of 

 July, in rich, well-manured ground, in hills 3 feet apart each way, coveiing 

 about half an inch, and thin out to 3 plants to a hill. The extra early varieties 

 can be planted 18 inches in the row and 2^ feet between the rows. In elevated

 sorts only, and plantings to be made not later than June 20th to July 1st.
