One ounce will plant 80 hills. 
After all danger of frost is over and the ground has hoeome warm and dry, plant in hills 
4 to 6 feet apart each way, 0 to 12 seeds to a hill. When up, and all danger of insects has 
passed,^ pull out all hut tliree plants. Cultivate until the vines cover the ground, and pincli the 
ends of the growing shoots to induce early fruiting. Ashes, lime, or even dry road dust, are 
excellent to sift over young plants when the dew is on, to prevent the attacks of insects.
