CULTURE. For very early, sow in hotbeds upon pieces of sod, or in small pots, they can be readily transplanted with a gain of about six weeks 

 before they can be sown in the open. Plant out in rich soil when danger of frost is over, or protect by hand glasses; or by paper held down at the comers 

 with earth. For general crops sow in the open as soon as the weather is settled and warm, and every two weeks for a succession. For pickles sow from 

 middle of June to Fourth of July. Sod land, turned over in the fall, is the best for them. Plant in hills 4 feet apart, putting a shovelful of well rotted man- 

 ure in each hill.
