The number of days to maturity we give are days from setting 
of the plants. 
Sow seed in hotbeds or in boxes in a warm room; transplant 
when about 2 inches high into flats or single pots and place in 
cold frames. Transplant to the open ground about the middle of 
May to June 15th, setting the plants about 4 feet apart each 
way. Where the summers are fairly long, seed may be sown out- 
doors when weather gets warm. Many gardeners say they obtain 
better results this way. Hotkaps set over the seed and young 
plants makes them bear earlier and better fruit. To secure best 
results in earliness, amount, and perfection, train and tie two or 
three of the strongest branches to long stakes; pinch off weaker 
ones. Package of seed will produce 200 plants; oz. about 2000 
plants.
