To furnish desirable early plants the seed should 
be sown in February or March in a hotbed or box 
kept in a warm place. When the plants are about 
2 inches high thin, or better, transplant to 4 inches 
apart each way to ensure stocky plants. About 
the 10th of May, or as soon as danger from frost is 
past, transplant to the open ground, setting about 
3 feet apart each way. They should be frequently 
cultivated. The fruit will ripen earlier and be 
improved in quality if the vines are pruned to two 
stems and trained to stakes or trellises. Plants for 
late summer and fall crops may be started from 
seed in May or early June.
