require much space and as they readily mix with cucumbers, melons, etc., they are not very suitable for the 
home garden. The common practice, and a good one, is to plant the seeds in the cornfield, either in hills 
or between the rows, after the last cultivation. One ounce of seed to thirty hills; 4 pounds to an acre.
