One ounce will produce fifteen hundred 
plants; four ounces will produce enough 
for one acre. They do be.st on a light, warm 
not over-rich soil, and success depends to a 
very great extent on securing a rapid, vig- 
orous, unchecked growth the early part of 
the season. Transplant as soon as the 
plants are fit to handle, into shallow boxes, 
setting them four or five inches apart. 
When strong and stocky, set out in hills 
four feet apart. By training the vines on 
trellises or other supports, they will be 
more productive, and the fruit will be of 
much better quality.
