Planting Instructions but Gey will grow in almost 
any soil if there is good drainage. When all danger of frost is 
past sow the seed about '-inch deep in hills 4 feet apart each 
way. Earlier crops may be had by starting the plants in a 
hotbed and transplanting about three or four of the young 
plants to a hill or by using Hotkaps. Keep the soil well fer- 
tilized and well cultivated between the plants until the vines 
cover it. Keeping them picked before they reach full size will 
cause the plants to bear longer.
