  CULTURE. 
  For 
  very 
  early, 
  sow 
  in 
  hotbeds 
  upon 
  pieces 
  of 
  sod, 
  or 
  in 
  small 
  pots, 
  they 
  can 
  be 
  readily 
  transplanted 
  with 
  a 
  gam 
  

   of 
  about 
  six 
  weeks 
  before 
  they 
  can 
  be 
  sown 
  in 
  the 
  open. 
  Plant 
  out 
  in 
  rich 
  soil 
  when 
  danger 
  of 
  frost 
  is 
  over, 
  or 
  protect 
  by 
  hand 
  glasses; 
  

   or 
  by 
  paper 
  held 
  down 
  at 
  the 
  corners 
  with 
  earth. 
  For 
  general 
  crops 
  sow 
  in 
  the 
  open 
  as 
  soon 
  as 
  the 
  weather 
  is 
  settled 
  and 
  warm, 
  and 
  

   every 
  two 
  weeks 
  for 
  a 
  succession. 
  For 
  pickles 
  sow 
  from 
  middle 
  of 
  June 
  to 
  Fourth 
  of 
  July. 
  Sod 
  land, 
  turned 
  over 
  in 
  the 
  fall, 
  is 
  the 
  best 
  

   for 
  them. 
  Plant 
  in 
  hills 
  4 
  feet 
  apart, 
  putting 
  a 
  shovelful 
  of 
  well 
  rotted 
  manure 
  in 
  each 
  hill.
