Culture: The best crops are grown on light soil. For extra 
early fruit the seed should be sown in hotbeds about the first 
week in March. Sow seed in rows 4 inches apart and not over 
one-half inch deep. Enough plants for a small garden may be 
grown in shallow boxes or flower pots in a sunny window in 
the house. When the weather becomes warm out-of-doors, 
gradually harden them by exposing them to the air. When all 
danger of frost is past, set out in the open and water until 
plants are established.
