until the weather is warm and danger
of frost over. Cool nights will cause
them to be stunted, which retards
their growth to such an extent that
plants from seed sown in summer
will overtake them. 1t is mistake
often made to transplant early. As
long as the early plants are growing

| planted at any time. One or two
cold nights may cause loss of time
and labor to transplanted plants.
