An ounce -will produce 1,500 plants ; 4 ounces will produce enough for one acre. They do best on 
a light, warm, not over rich soil ; and success depends to a 
very great extent on securing a rapid, vigorous, unchecked 
growth the early part of the season. Transplant as soon 
as the plants are fit to handle into shallow boxes, setting 
them 4 or 5 inches apart. When strong and stocky, set 
out in hills 4 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
