When the plants are well up, thin to about and give frequent and thorough cultivation during the summer. If this has been well done, the plants will be fit to set the next spring. The permanent beds should be prepared by deep plowing or spading and thoroughly enriching the ground with stable manure or other fertilizers, if the subsoil is not naturally loose and friable, it should be made so Ijy thoroughly stirring \\ ith a subsoil plow or the spade.
