Wholesome and delicious whether raw, cooked, or canned. 
CULTURE—For the first crop sow seeds of the earliest sorts under glass or in the house about 
the middle of February, giving the young seedlings plenty of light for stocky development. When 
they are 3 to 4 inches high transplant them into flats or a spent hotbed to stand 4 inches apart each 
way. Give plenty of air on sunny days to harden them properly. Such plants should start bearing 
middle of June and continue for the best part of 2 months. For the main crop, sow seeds of the second- 
early and main crop varieties in a hotbed or warm cold-frame by April ist. Around Decoration Day 
prepare spaces 3 feet apart each way, digging the hole a foot deep and of equal diameter and filling 
this with well-rotted stable manure or humus. Set the plants into these spaces and to prevent loss 
from cut worms surround the young plants with a collar of cardboard. Where the young plants are 
grown in paper pots, set them into the ground, pots and all, just tearing out the bottom. One ounce 
of seed will produce about 2500 plants.
