 with prominent midribs. When grown in home gardens, plants should j,| 

 be thinned to about 8 inches apart so that each one will have plenty of ■ 

 room. Does not make solid heads in hot weather.

In sections where the summers are short, seed can be planted indoors 

 or in hot beds in small boxes. The young plants can be transferred to 

 the garden when danger of frost is past. If practicable, spade in a liberal 

 forkful of well rotted manure at the bottom of each hill. The rows 

 should be at least 6 feet apart and the hills 3 feet apart in the rows. In 

 general, the culture is the same as that for cucumber.
