sensitive to cold and wet. Put 10 to 12 seeds 
in a hill. When the plants have formed the 
first pair of rough leaves, they should be 
thinned so as to leave 2 to 3 of the strongest 
and best to each hill. Cultivate until vines 
cover the ground. A packet will plant about 
10 hills; an ounce 30 hills; 2 to 8 pounds per
