For early plants sow in hot beds early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and i inch deep; when the plants are about 2 inches high, transplant into another hot bed 4 inches apart each way; plant out in the open ground early in May, or as soon as danger from frost is over, 4 feet apart each way in hills, which should have a shovelful of well-rotted manure w'ith the soil. Water freely at time of transplanting; when the first fruit is set, pinch oflthe ends of the branches to obtain early fruit. Sufficient plants for a small garden can be grown in a shallow box or a large flower-pot, by placing it in a sunny window of a warm room or kitchen.
