CUCUMBERS 



German, ®utfe. 



French, :Concombre. 



Plant in hills four feet apart, in well-prepared, warm, rich, loamy soil. 



Mix a shovelful of well-rotted manure in each hill. The fruit should be 



picked when large enough, whether they are wanted or not, as it destroys the 



vitality of the vine if left to ripen. 



1 oz. to 50 hills ; 2 lbs. to the acre in bills.
