eggs. In order to provide the long growing season required by these plants, the 
seed should be started in a hotbed, or indoors in boxes or shallow pans some time 
during February. When about 3 in. high plant singly into small pots. The seed¬ 
lings must not be set outdoors until all danger of frost is past and soil is warm. 
One oz. gives 1500 plants; 4 ozs. are required per acre.
