 ruary 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
