For early plants sow in holbeds early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and h inch dee)); when the plants are about 2 inches 

 high transplant into another hotbed 4 inches apart each way; plant out in the open ground early in May, or as soon as danger 

 -from frost is over, 4 feet apart each way in hills, which should have a shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed with the soil. Water 

 freely at time of transplanting ; when the first fruit is set, pinch off the ends of the branches to obtain early fruit. Sufficient plants 

 for a small garden can be grown in a shallow box or large flower-pot by placing it in a sunny window in a warm room or kilchen.

 ■ ripsned under glass. By training the vines on trellises or tying to stakes, the fruit will ripen better and be of finer quality.
