The Landreth 
Two ounces seed per acre is suggested. 
CULTURE: The best crops are grown on 
light soil. For early fruit in most states the 
seed should be sown in hotbeds early in 
March or about 6 weeks before transplanting 
to the field. Sow seed in rows 4 inches apart 
and not over ¥% inch deep. Enough plants for 
a small garden may be grown in shallow 
boxes or flower pots in a sunny window in the 
house. When the weather becomes warm out 
of doors, gradually harden them by exposing 
them to the air. When all danger of frost is 
past, set out in the open 3 to 4 feet apart each” 
way. During the growing season do not allow 
the ground to cake or harden. Give plenty of 
cultivation. One packet will produce about 
300 plants; an ounce about 2,500.
