stroys grass, weeds and insects, adds fertility through the action of wood ashes, 
and leaves the ground in good order. The seeds are sown about February. When 
large enough and weather is settled (about June), set the plants out in highly 
manured or fertilized soil in 3y 2 foot rows, 3 feet between the plants. Constant 
care must be given, cultivating, suckering, worming, etc.
