by keeping the plant in a healthy and rapidly growing condition. 
Broadcast the seed in the seed-bed prepared, sowing the early 
varieties from May 15th to July 1st; medium early varieties May 
20th to July 5th; and late varieties any time from June 25th to 
Aug 26th inclusive. When the plants are 40 days old, they are 
ready for the field. Transplant to 24 inches apart in rows 30 to 
36 Inches apart. Do not leave plants in the hot-bed over 45 
days as the stems become hard and poor results follow. Keep 
the plants vigorous and growing.
