CULTURE—Sow the seed in March in a sunny window, in boxes or flats, using a 
light sandy soil. The seed germinaves in 10 to 12 days. When plants are 2 or 3 inches 
high, transplant them 2 inches apart each way, into other flats using the same kind 
of soil. In 3 weeks, transplant to small paper pots or 4-inch flower pots, to produce 
good stocky plants. Pot-grown plants will not suffer a set-back when planted out 
in the garden, as the roots need not be disturbed.
