Planting Instructions a lient 
warm soil is preferable but they will 
grow in almost any soil if there is good 
drainage. When all danger of frost is 
past sow the seed about 1% 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 fertilized 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.
