CULTURE. Plant in hills 6 feet apart each way, 10 to 
20 seeds may be planted in each hill, covering a circle 
15 inches in diameter. When plants are three or four 
inches high they may be thinned to 5 or 6 to a hill, al¬ 
lowing for cutworms and beetles destroying one or two. 
Cultivate frequently until the vines cover the ground. 
The seed may also be started in berry boxes by placing 
them in a hotbed. When the weather is suitable—settled 
and warm—remove the box as plants are placed in the 
garden. The fruit should be gathered as soon as large 
enough for use, or else the productiveness of the vines 
will be permanently injured. One ounce of seed is re¬ 
quired for 60 hills; two to three pounds per acre.
