CULTURE—Farly in spring make a trench about six inches deep, in rich, mellow soil, so ar- 
ranged that no water can stand in it, and plant the seed in the bottom, taking care not to cover 
it more than two inches. When the plants are about five inches high, fill up the trench, and 
furnish some support for the vines to run upon. The flowers should be picked before they form 
pods, or the plants will soon stop flowering.
