CULTURE. Prepare hills 8 or 10 feet apart each way by working in 

 thoroughly rotted manure, or poultry droppings — rich ground gives the 

 plants a good start before insects attack them. When the ground is warm 

 plant 6 or 8 seeds to the hills, covering an inch deep and, when well up, 

 thin out, leaving three strong plants to each hill. Do not grow near 

 pumpkins and gourds.
