A packet of seed of winter varieties will plant 3 to 4 hills; an ounce 15 hills; 3 to 4 lbs. of seed per acre. 
These varieties have very large running vines and should be planted in hills 6 to 8 feet apart each way. The vines often extend 20 feet in all direc- 
tions, although they may be trained to grow in a narrower row. Working manure or fertilizer into the soil around the hill will greatly improve the 
crop. Plant in May or early June, after danger of frost is past. ,
