o,7 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO 



' MAYLANDS SMALLHOLDERS 



If these instructions are carried out, there will be an

"The frame cucmnbers are packed in flats, num- 

 bered according to size, but usually 3 to 4 doz. Put 

 a little hay at the bottom, then cover with paper, put 

 one layer of fruit very carefully on this and a sheet of 

 paper over, a little more hay, another sheet of paper, 

 then a layer of fruit and so on. Three layers generally 

 fill the flat. 



"Ridge cucumbers are generally sold by count or m 

 bushels, but when grown especially fine may be sent in 

 flats as above."
