warm. For a succession, continue planting every 
two weeks until the middle of July, in rich, well- 
manured ground, in hills 3 feet apart each way, 
covering early sorts 1 inch; early and late sorts, \]4 
inches, and thin out to three plants to a hill. Extra- 
early varieties can be planted 18 inches apart- in 
the row and 2 % feet between the rows.
