One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds for one acre. 
Plant for general use, in the open ground about June 1, 
in hills 6 feet apart each way, and thin to three plants in a. 
hill; the hills should be previously prepared by mixing thor¬ 
oughly with the soil in each a shovelful of well-rotted 
manure, or better still, plant on land that a crop has been 
taken off from, which was heavily manured for that crop. 
Plenty of water is the most important point, except for ear¬ 
liest, where the temperature must bo looked to as well as the 
watering. A sprinkling of dry plaster will keep off the 
striped bug. For earliest use sow the seed in the hot bed or 
greenhouse in March, in warm loam, where the temperature 
is about ninety degrees; cover half an inch deep, and, when 
the plants are of fair size, transplant into hills (made in the 
greenhouse), four plants in a hill, so that, when the weather 
permits, the whole hill can be moved to the open ground.
