B p i. Plant seed when damage of frost is past. A sandy loam is 
LUliUre most preferable. Plant in hills 4 to 6 feet apart, depend¬ 
ing on the vigor of the variety. In sections where the summers are 
short plant seed indoors in boxes and transplant when danger of frost is 
past. Seed can also be planted early outdoors by giving protection to 
the young seedling by the use of Hotkaps (see page 82). Sow 6 to 
8 seeds to the hill. Thin out all surpuls plants and as they grow pull 
the soil around the roots until they are 12 inches or more below the 
surface. General culture is much the same as for cucumbers. Keep 
well cultivated and the roots deep down in the cool moist earth and 
the vines will not sunburn from the hot sun.
