One ounce to 60 hills; 3 pounds to acre. 
CULTURE. A rich, deep, sandy soil well worked 
and highly manured is of the utmost importance. 
Plant when all danger of frost is over, in hills 5 
to 6 feet apart each way; scatter a dozen seeds to 
a hill and afterwards thin out to 3 or 4 plants. 
When they have 4 leaves, pinch off the end of the 
main shoots, which will cause lateral branches 
to put forth sooner and strengthens the growth of 
the vines.
