dry soils, is often detrimental to their
growth. ^ Tho rows should be as nearly

plants appear, attention should be given
to the weeds. Nowhere in horticultural
operations is “a stitch in time saves

in season, it not only saves much time
and labor in removing them, but tho
young plants are left undisturbed. To
insure a good crop, the soil should be
kept mellow and free from weeds
throughout the season.
Thinning should be done as soon as
the plants become strong enough the thinning to en
