Plant in hills four feet apart. The richer the whole 
ground the better, and a peck to half a bushel of well-

inches from the pole and press them in the soil, eye down. 
If the soil is sandy cover two inches deep ; if stiff clay 
cover an inch deep with the finest soil you can get and bat 
it down firm and smooth with a hoe.
