1 oz. to 100 hills. 2 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. Prepare hills, 4 to 6 feet apart, in a rich, 
moderately dry sandy soil, using well-rotted manure 
When frost is over, plant 10 to 12 seeds in each hill abou 
one inch deep, and when well up, thin out, leaving four 
strong plants to the hill. Pinch off the ends of the vines 
when about a foot long; this will make them strong and 
bear more freely. Give frequent but shallow cultivation 
till the vines cover the ground. Do not grow near cucum- 
bers, squashes, etc.

ger of freezing is past. For late crop, sow in May or June 
and grow like late cabbage. Set the plants about 18 inches

% oz. to 100-ft. row. 1 oz. to 15,000 plants. 4 oz. to arse. 
CULTURE. Sow in drills early in spring as soon as the 
ground can be worked. The soil should be rich and well 
prepared. Cover the seed lightly with fine earth, tamping 
in firmly. Keep moist to insure germination and quick, 
vigorous growth. In order to secure stocky plants cut off 
the tops once or twice before transplanting to the field or 
garden. Set plants 6 to 8 inches apart in rows from 3 to 4 
feet apart. Transplanting should be done about the last of 
June. Care should be taken to firm the earth well around 
the roots of the plant; work up the soil between the rows, 
drawing it to the plants from time to time until they are 
covered to the very tops.

LETTUCE 
% oz. to 100-ft. row; 3 lbs. to acre 
CULTURE. For general crop, sow as early in the spring 
as the ground can be worked in drills 18 inches apart, 
and thin the young plants to 4 inches apart in the row. 
As the plants begin to crowd, thin them out and use as 
required. Keep the soil coustantly loose by frequently hoe- 
ing. Lettuce to be at its best should be grown as rapidly 
as possible, hence the soil should be made as rich as 
possible by liberal manuring and thorough preparation 
For winter, sow under glass from November to February 
and thin out as necessary to prevent crowding. Keep a 
moderate heat and give all the light and air possible.

MUSTARD 
Y2 oz. to 100-ft. row. 5 lbs. to acre. 
The greens, for which this quick growing plant is 
chiefly raised, are fully as healthful and nourishing as 
spinach. Mustard is related to turnip, and although the 
tops are much alike in richness and flavor, mustard leaves 
are more tender and the stems not so long and coarse. 
Seed may be sown from early spring to midsummer in 
rows 18 inches apart. Thin to 5 or 6 inches apart in the 
rows. The plants are in condition for use as soon as the 
leaves are the size of one’s hand. Mustard runs to seed 
quickly, so that successive plantings are necessary for a 
continuous supply.
