CULTURE. The seed may be started in hotbed in March, or suffi- | 
cient plants for family use can be grown in pots or boxes indoors with 
very little trouble. Be particular to give plants the benefit of fresh | 
air and sun whenever judicious, for the purpose of hardening them, and | 
cover with mats when necessary to prevent them from frosting. The | 
two extremes of heat and cold are equally injurious. It is customary 
with the best gardeners to remove the plants from hotbeds to the cold | 
frames, allowing a distance of several inches between the plants. In | 
May select and prepare the soil and set the plants 3 feet each way. | 
Hoe and draw earth to the stems. When the plants crowd, the fruit | 
will be small. Have the soil very rich. For general crop sow from the ° 
middle of April or during May, in the open air, selecting good soil in’ 
a location much exposed to the sun and sheltered by a hill or woods | 
on the north.
