One ounce of seed will produce about 1000 plants. 



Culture — Sow seed in flats under glass in March; transplant seedlings when 2 to 3 inches high j 

 into other flats, 4 inches apart each way or into individual pots, either clay or paper, to encourage 

 good root systems. When the weather has become thoroughly settled and danger from belated freezes 

 is over (about corn planting time), transplant to open ground in warm, very rich, and well-prepared 

 soil, placing rows 3 feet apart, with plants 2 feet apart in the rows. The large, sweet sorts have become 

 very popular and are always in demand.
