When two inches high, transplant in the beds to four or five inches apirt each way, to give the plants room and make them bushy, al- ways keeping them well aired. If they crowd e tch other before time to transplant, root- prune by drawing a sharp knife deeply between the plants. When dinger of frost is past, transplant to rich, loose soil, keeping well watered and cultivated.
