For list and descriptions, see pages 43, 81 : 
Plant when the ground has become thor- 
oughly warmed, in hills 4 feet each way, 8 
seeds in a hill. When the second set of leaves 
has formed, thin out to 4 plants in a hill. A 
type of beetle attacks this crop occasionally, 
which can be conquered by spraying the vines 
with Arsenate of Lead; when this is used, 
always wash the fruits thoroughly before 
using. If the foliagé is attacked eae by 
aphis or green fly; a spraying with Black-Leaf 
AO is usually very effective.
