grew and tittered as well as• the first. itt the end of
Nrember I took them up a second time, arid made
thirty-six plants or. sees. These 1, aglin planted;
which grew till,Mideli; in which month I, a third
tiMo, took tip my plants, and divided them into two
hiAndred and fitly-six plants or sets: Fur the re-
. maining part, of the summer, till, the month of
August, 'they had nothitig done., to them, except
hoeing the,grenrid clean Iroin .Wee,-.ls, till the corn
Was ripe. When it was gailleted, I,llad the cars
