1 oz. to 100 hills or 100 ft. of row; 2 lbs. per acre 
Plant as soon as the weather becomes settled in hills 
4 feet apart each way, with 8 or 10 seeds in each hill, 
cover half an inch deep, smoothing the hill off with the 
hoe. Keep the soil well stirred, and when the plants are 
out of danger of insects thin to 4 plants to the hill. 
Another very successful method is to sow the seed in 
rows, thinning to stand 12 in. apart in the row. For 
pickles, plant from the first of June to the first of 
August. Whether growing slicers or picklers the fruit 
should be gathered when large enough, for if left to 
ripen on the vines, it destroys their productive uses. 
Gherkins or Burr (60 days) Very small, quite 
distinct from all others, grown 
exclusively for pickling, and should be picked when young
