a a hot-bed. greenhouse or window in a sitting-room, where night temperature is not lesB than 
u^-.ees about the iirst week in March, in drills 5 inches apart and half an inch deep. When thp 
plants are about two inches high they should be set out in boxes three inches deep, four or five 
inches apart, iu same temperature, or removed into small pots, allowing a single plant to a 
pot. They are sometimes transplanted a second time into larger pots, by which process the 
plants are rendered more sturdy and branching. About the middle of May, in thislati 
tilde, the plants may be set in the open ground. They are planted for early crops on 
light, sandy soil, at a distance of three feet apart, in hills m which a good shovelful of 
rotted manure has been mixed. On heavy soils, which are not suited for an early 
crop, they should be planted four feet apart.
