DUTHIE SEED CO.

CULTURE—Ordinary good garden soil is suitable. The 
ground should be well drained to avoid water lying too 
long and becoming sour. Select for a location in your 
garden a place open and airy and which receives the 
sun all day. 
Soil prepared as for vegetables produces fair results, 
but a little more care will repay the planter. It is well 
to cultivate and 1 prepare the ground in the Pall, supplying 
at this time a good amount of stable manure and bone- 
meal. A mulch of shredded cow manure when started is 
beneficial. 
Inoculate the seed with Nodogen and insure success. 
Sow in trenches about four inches deep and cover to a 
depth of two inches, sti)ll allowing the center of the 
trench to remain at least two inches below the level of 
the ground, that water may be retained. 
In case of dry weather, constant watering is necessary 
to keep the roots cool. 
When the vines are about six inches high, staking with 
brush or trellis should be attended to at once. One' ounce 
of seed is sufficient to plant 20 feet of drill. Spray 
thoroughly and often to prevent infestation with aphis. 
We can recommend Ever Green Spray for this purpose.
