P"or early plants sow in liot-beds early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and \ inch deep ; when Ihe plants are about 2 iiiclies 

 high transplant into another hot-bed 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 a large flower-pot by placing it in a sunny window in a warm room or kitchen. 

 For late use sow in a sheltered border in May, and set out the plants in July; the green fruit can be picked ofl" before frost and 

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