Plant when all danger of frost.is over, in a warm, sunny spot. Place 6 to 8 seeds in slightly 
raised hills and cover with an inch of fine soil. A shovelful of well-rotted manure under 
each hill will promote good growth. When plants are well estab- 
lished, thin to the three strongest plants per hill, and pinch off 
the tips when about a foot long to make them branch out. This 
will make fruit mature earlier. Soil should be well soaked before 
planting seed so that no further moisture will be needed until 
seeds germinate, to prevent seed rotting.
