CULTURE. The seed may be started in hotbed in March, or suffi¬ 
cient plants for family use can be grown in pots or boxes indoors with 
very little trouble. Be particular to give plants the benefit of fresh 
air and sun whenever judicious, for the purpose of hardening them, and 
cover with mats when necessary to prevent them from frosting. The 
two extremes of heat and cold are equally injurious. It is customary 
with the best gardeners to remove the plants from hotbeds to the cold 
frames, allowing a distance of several inches between the plants. In 
May select and prepare the soil and set the plants 3 feet each way. 
Hoe and draw earth to the stems. When the plants crowd, the fruit 
will be small. Have the soil very rich. For general crop sow from the 
middle of April or during May, in the open air, selecting good soil in 
a location much exposed to the sun and sheltered by a hill or woods 
on the north.
