The seed may be started in hotbed in March, or 
How, When and Where to Plant sufficient elants 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 April select and 
prepare the soil and set the plants 3 feet each way. Hoe and draw earth to the stems. For 
general crop sow from the middle of April or during May. The number of days on varieties 
shown means the time from setting of plants.
