The seed may be started in hotbed in March, or suffi- cient plants for family use can be grown in pots or boxes indoors with very little trouble. Be particular to give plants the benefit of fresh air and sun whenever judicious, for the purpose of hardening them, and cover with mats when necessary to prevent them from frosting. The two extremes of heat and cold are equally injurious. It is cus- tomary with the best gardeners to remove the plants from hotbeds to the cold frames, allow- ing a distance of several inches between the plants. In May select and prepare the soil and set the plants 3 feet each way. Hoe and draw earth to the stems. When the plants crowd, the fruit will be small. Have the soil very rich. For general crop sow from the middle of April or during May, in the open air, selecting good soil in a location much ex- posed to the sun and sheltered by a hill or woods on the north. 173. I. X. L.
