CULTURE.—1 ounce is sufEcient for 100 feet of drill; 6 ounces will produce enough plants to set an acre. Sow % of an 
inch deep in warm, mellow soil in May or June in rows 2% feet, and when the plants are large enough, thin so as to leave 
18 inches between them. Cultivate frequently to destroy weeds, and keep the earth worked up against the plant to assist 
the stem in carrying its weight of pods. If the seeds are sown indoors, so as to get the plants started early, arrangements 
must be made to have a uniform, high temperature. Market gardeners usually sow in hot-beds in February, transplanting 
into boxes or pots so as to have stocky plants ready for setting outdoors when danger of frost is past.
