Culture. — One ounce will plant fifty hills ; four to six pounds, according to variety, is required for one 
acre. Plant in well-manured hills, the bush varieties 
three or four feet apart, and the running sorts from six 
to eight feet. Eight or ten seeds should be allowed to a 
hill, thinning out after danger of bugs is over, and 
leaving three or four of the strongest plants to a hill.
