CULTURE —Seed is liable to rot if planted in cold ground. Yet if we have an early warm spell 

 in spring, it may pay to take some risk, as often the plants, when once up, escape injury by frost. 

 About middle of May plant in hills 3 feet apart each way, covering about 8 or 10 seeds half an 

 inch and thin out to three plants to a hill, or plant in rows 3 feet apart, and thin out plants to 

 stand 12 inches apart in the rows. For succession plant early sorts every two weeks up to July 15th.
