Plant as soon as the weather becomes settled, in hills, four feet apart each 

 way, with eight or ten 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 leave three or four plants to the hill. For pickles, 

 plant from the first of June to the first of August. The fruit should be gath- 

 ered when large enough, whether required for use or not, as, if left to ripen 

 on the vines, it destroys their productive uses.
