CULTURE. — For very early cucumbers, sow first of April in hot-bed, upon pieces of sod (grass side 

 down), so that they can be readily transplanted to open ground, in rich soil, when danger of frost is; 

 over, or protect by hand glasses. For early use plant, if weather has become settled and warm, in hills 

 about 4 feet apart each way ; thin out to 4 of the strongest plants to each hill after all danger from in- 

 sects is over. For pickles, plant from June until the middle of July.

 plant, and place close together in frame or cellar for use. They must be 

 kept dry and have plenty of air or they will rot.
