CULTURE. — It is a common mistake to plant these too 
early. Sowings may he made in April, under glass, and the plants 
put. out about the middle of May where they are to stand. If 
however they are to he sown ill the often ground , do not put them 
m until the first week in May. This is the vegetable for a hot. 
and dry season. TJ hen thickly mulched and watered , they will 
bear heavily and deserve all the labour of watering afforded 
them. They should be occasionally topped, to induce side growth.
