CULTURE. — For earliest use, sow the seed in the hot-bed or green-house in February or March, in warm loam, 

 where the temperature is about 90 degrees; cover half an inch deep, and. when the plants are of fair size, transplant into 

 hills (made in the green-house), four plants in a hill, so that when the weather permits the whole hill can be moved to 

 the open ground by means of tins made for that purpose. Plant for general use in the open ground, about June 1st, in 

 hills 6 feet apart each way, and thin to 3 plants in a hill. Fine old manure (about 6 cords per acre) is sufficient; or, 

 better still, plant on land from which a crop has been taken, and which was heavily manured for that crop. A sprinkling 

 of dry plaster will keep off the striped bug.
