One pound will plant about 100 hills, or 150 to 200 feet of row. 

 CULTURE. — Seed of the sweet varieties is liable to rot if planted in wet 

 or 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. Plant 

 in hills 3 feet apart each way, covering about half an inch and thin out to three 

 plants to a hill, or plant in rows 4 feet apart, and to stand 12 inches apart in 

 the rows. For succession plant every two weeks up to July 15th.
