Culture.— One ounce will produce 3,000 plants ; 2 ounces will produce enough for an acre. They 
do best on a light, warm, not over-rich soil, and success depends to a very great extent on securing 
a rapid, vigorous, unchecked growth the early part of the season. 
Transplant as soon as the 
plants are fit to handle 
into shallow boxes, set¬ 
ting them 4 or 5 inches 
apart. When strong and 
stocky, set out in hills 4 
feet apart. By training 
the vines on trellises or 
other supports, they will 
be more productive, and 
the fruit will be 
of much better 
quality.
