Thin so the plants are twelve to fifteen inches 
apart in the row and place the rows three feet 
apart for the giant types and two feet apart for 
the small varieties. Plant the seed one-half 
deep, twenty to twenty-flve seeds to the foot of row. 
Do not plant until all danger from frost is past and do not plant 
nearer any trees than the height of the tree. Never plant where they 
will be shaded. They do the best on very rich soil. Cultivate and 
water frequently. Dust the ground with finely ground sulphur when 
the plants are beginning to bud at the rate of one-half pound to the 
square rod to avoid mildew.
