CULTURE — Can be easily raised in the 
open ground, and. when only a few are required, had better be grown in hills, 5 leet 
apart. Make a trench about 18 inches deep and 3 feet in diameter, and fill up with 
horse dung, tramping same down firmly and then cover over with 9 inches of rich, 
light soil, so that over the manure the ground is slightly raised, and in a few days ; ow 
4 01 5 sfeeds on each "hill." ultimately leaving the three strongest plants. It is very 
important that the plants should suffer no check from sowing to fruiting, hence 
watering must be carefully attended to.
