One pound will plant about 100 hills, or 150 to 350 feet of row. 

 CULTURE — Seed is liable to rot if planted in told ground. Vet 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 feci apart, 

 and thin out plants to stand 12 inches ap;irt in the rows. For succession plant early sorts 

 every two weeks up to July 15th.
