"Remember the fish Which we did eat in Egypt freely. 

 The cucumber and the leek, and the onion and the 

 garlic." 



CUCUMBER

 Mediterranean. 

 Plant in hills about ten seeds in a hill and 

 thin to two plants. Pinch off the ends of run- 

 ners and water often and mulch the ground. 

 The young fruit is used for pickling and sliced 

 up in vinegar. Do not eat cucumbers and 

 drink milk; it is fatal.

CORN SALAD AND FETTICUS

 The plant is used as a substitute for let- 

 tuce. The greens are cooked like spinach.
