 starting and growing early Cucumber plants, as they can be readily lifted from the hot-bed to the garden without disturbing the young 

 plants growing uf)on them. For main crop, plant in hills 4 feet apart, in the end of May. Leave 4 strong plants to each hill. One 

 ounce to 50 hUls; 2 to 3 pounds to an acre.
