JAMES VICK'S SONS, ROCHESTER, N. Y.

seed should not be sown too thick; to 

 drop the seeds about an inch apart and 

 use more boxes is better than to crowd 

 them too much, as they spoil very quick- 

 ly after coming up if too thick. The 

 plants are potted aa soon as two days 

 old, or when the two seed leaves are de- 

 veloped. If left too long, the roots 

 get tangled and are broken in handling. 

 They are then put in the lightest and 

 warmest place in the houses, and where 

 they are protected from drafts. The best 

 temperature is 68 degrees at night and 

 75 to 85 degrees by day, according to the 

 amount of sunshine. 



Strong bottom heat is as necessary 

 as it is for the propagating house. When 

 the plants have made about three leaves 

 they are ready to be planted out in the 

 beds, two plants in a hill and the hills 

 about three feet and a half apart. 



From the time the seed is planted, 

 cucumbers require the most careful at- 

 tention as to temperature, ventilation 

 and watering. This should not be left 

 to inexperienced help. They should at 

 no time be soaked with water until the 

 vines are quite large. Great care should 

 also be taken that they do not suffer for 

 want of water at any time, or they be- 

 come stunted. A little ventilation should 

 be given each bright day, to harden the 

 plants, but not too much, so as to blow 

 the leaves or cool the house. Hourly 

 attention is not too often for best re- 

 sults. The plants should not be watered 

 too late to allow the foliage to dry off 

 before night, and ventilation should be 

 given early in the day and closed down 

 as the sun commences to decline. 



There is probably no hothouse vege- 

 table which requires such constant atten- 

 tion to grow successfully as the cucum- 

 ber, nor a crop which pays any better 

 when well grown. H. G. 



POOR GROWTH OF LETTUCE. 



I am sending you a sample of soil 

 and a diseased lettuce plant. Will you 

 kindly tell me what is the matter! I 

 have new soil in my benches and in spots 

 the lettuce will not grow at all — just 

 gets bunchy and curls up, while in other 

 places in the same bench it grows to fine 

 plants. I use the same soil in another 

 house for carnations, and it grows fine 

 blooms. M. B. S. 



Your soil seems , to be of a stiff, re- 

 tentive nature, one that would require 

 great care in the matter of watering, 

 but if this were carefully attended to I 

 see no reason why good letture could 

 not be grown in it. Keep the surface
