Dig trenches 18 inches deep, 12 inches wide, 
and 4 feet apart ; lay the soil out of the trench 
on each side, and at the bottom place a layer 
of well-rotted manure, digging it well in to 
incorporate it with the soil. Select the strong- 
est - plants, which place to the center of the 
trench, about 8 inches apart, taking care not to 
remove the ball of soil attached to the roots.

and feed up with liquid manure. Earth up as 
plants require it, carefully closing the leaves 
to prevent the soil from falling into the heart 
of the plant.
