CULTURE.-—Plant, when the ground is warm and danger of frost Is 
over, in hills 1 feet apart for the summer or hush varieties, and 8 feet for 
winter varieties. Light land is best, and it should be made very rich with 
well-rotted manure. We prefer manuring the whole land rather than 
putting the manure in the hills only. Thin the plants to threo or four in a 
hill after they get their second leaves. To keep oil’ the bugs, dust the 
plants as soon ns they come up with slacked lime or plaster Infused with 
turpentine.
