Plant as soon as the \reather 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

 should be gathered when large enough, for if left to 

 ripen on the vines, it destroys their productive uses.
