Planting should be done when all danger of frost is past, as the young plants 
are very tender and susceptible to injury. The seed should be planted in 
ridges or hills four feet apart each way, having thoroughly incorporated in each 
hill a shovelful of well-rotted manure or other compost. When the plants 
are well started, thin out to two strong plants and keep ground thoroughly 
cultivated, being careful at all times not to bruise the vines.
