Culture. — For very early use, seed may be started in heat and the plants set out in May. Pieces of 

 inverted sod are an excellent medium lor 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 upon them. 

 For main crop, plant in hills four feet apart, in the end of :Mav. IVIake the hills rich with well-rotted 

 manure, and keep the young plants safe from the striped bug by dusting with dry plaster, or powdered 

 hellebore. One ounce to Jiftu hills; two to three vounds to one acre.
