Seed should be grown in a hotbed the first week in 
March, in drills 5 inches apart. When the plants are about 
2 inches high they should be set out 4 or 5 inches apart 
in another hotbed, or removed into small pots, allowing 
a single plant to a pot. About the middle of May the plants 
may be set out in the open ground; they are planted for 
early crops on light, sandy soil, at a distance of 3 feet 
apart, in hills in which a good shovelful of rotted manure 
should be mixed. On heavy soil, which is not suited for 
an early crop, they should be planted 4 feet apart. Water 
freely at the time of transplanting, and shelter from the 
sun for a few days until the plants are established.
