into a sunny corner of the garden, in rows about 2 to 3 feet apart, with the plants about 18 to 24 
inches between them in the rows. In warmer sections they can also be sown in open ground in a 
prepared seedbed when all danger from frost has passed. When the little plants are about 3 
inches in height, transplant as above into the rows where they are to remain. Some very rich 
fertilizer stirred into the soil when the plants are about 6 inches high will be found very bene-
