Culture .—Well enriched, light soil is an important 
requisite for success in the growing of these choice 
Summer fruits. Early in May, when the ground is 
warm and dry, plant in hills 4 feet apart each way, 
10 to 12 seeds to a hill. As soon as the plants make 
their appearance they are liable to attack by des¬ 
tructive insects. These should be fought with a 
dusting of soot, wood ashes, or some other good 
exterminator. When danger of these pests is over, 
thin out to 3 or 4 plants to each hill, and keep up 
cultivation until the vines nearly cover the ground. 
Occasional spraying with some effective insecticide 
is advisable. One ounce of seed will plant about 
50 hills; 2 pounds for an acre.
