R..& J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
Farquhar’s Perfection Forcing Cucumber. 
CUCUMBER. Gurken, (Gur.) Pepino, (Spr.) 
For very early use, seed may be started in heat and the plants set out in May. Pieces of in- 
verted sod are an excellent medium for 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 4 feet apart, in the end of May. Leave 4 strong plants to 
each hill. The Cucumbers should be gathered when fit for use, as if left to ripen it destroys their 
productiveness. For pickles, plant during June and July. One ounce to 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds to 
an acre.
