in dry seasons should be abundantly watered, 
especially when heading. Sow the seed early in 
the hotbed and transplant the plants 2 to 3

such time as they are safe to be planted in the 
open ground, which in this latitude is usually 
the 10th of April. Set the plants in the field 
15x24 inches apart.
