Culture. For very early, sow in hotbeds upon pieces of sod, or in small pots; they can be readily transplanted with a gain 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 (jeneral 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 shovelful of well rotted manure in each hill.

 expert growers to be the earliest and the Best, Dark Green, White Spine
