CUCUMBERS 



133 



Cucumbers gathered in the morning and stored 

 in a cool place will keep fresh and sweet for some 

 days. If they are gathered in the heat of the day, 

 they do not readily regain their crispness. 



It is very easy to hurt the vine, and it will stop 

 bearing soon if much disturbed. Any fruits that are 

 left to ripen will seriously check the growth of others. 

 If well tended and nourished, the vine will, in many 

 locaHties, go on bearing till frost.
