Cultivation Directions. — Plant in a rich, warm soil, in rows 3 feet apart for early sorts and 4 feet apart for the late 
sorts. Place hills 2 to 3 feet apart in the rows. The seed is liable to rot if planted in wet or cold ground. Yet, if we have 
an early warm period in spring it often pays to take some risks, as the plants, when once up, will often escape injury 
from belated frosts. May 15th is early enough to plant for seasonable crops. For succession plant every two weeks to 
July 15th. One quart of seed will plant two hundred hills, eight to ten quarts to an acre.
