CuLTUBE. For early fruit, sow seed on March 1 in the hotbed or in pots in a sunny exposure in the 

 house. When the plants are about 3 to 4 inches high, they should be set out 4 to 5 inches apart in another 

 hotbed or eoldframe into small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. Expose to the air as much as possi- 

 ble to harden, and about the middle of May set the plants in the open ground at a distance of 4 to 5 feet 

 each way. Water freely at the time of transplanting and shelter from the sun for a few days until the plants 

 are established. Sow 1 ounce to 2000 plants, }4 pound an acre.
