apart. A good crop when cultivated with judgment; like many oth¬ 
ers, it does far better with careful culture in well-fertilized soil.

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 suc¬ 
cess 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, setting 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.
