Sow the seed any time after the middle of February in a 

 hotbed or shallow box indoors in a sunny location; provide for a 

 constant supply of fruit by sowing several kinds that bear in suc- 

 cession. When the seedlings are 2 to 3 inches high transplant 

 into flats, other boxes or small paper pots, later transplanting 

 again and allowing plenty of room, so as to make a stocky and 

 sturdy plant. As soon as danger of frost is over set out in the 

 open 3 to 4 feet each way in moist ground which has been enriched 

 \\'ith rotted manure. After the plants have reached a height of 2 

 to 3 feet they should be supported by tying to stakes or trellis.
