CULTURE-In the 
vicinity of Georgia and the 
southern part of Florida 
seed should be sown in hot 
beds in the early part of 
January. When a couple

that the plants may become 
strong and robust. When 
warm enough, generally 
during March, transplant 
to the open ground about 
two and a half feet apart. 
The ground should be rich 
and the earth drawn up to 
the plants as they advance.
