CUCUMBER. (Gwz.) 
For very early use, seed may be started in heat and the plants set out in May. Pieces of inverted sod are an excellent medium for starte 
“ing 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 four feet apart, in the end of May. Make the hills rich with well-rotted manure, and 
keep the young plants safe from the striped bug by dusting with dry plaster, or powdered hellebore. Leave four strong plants to each hill, 
One ounce to fifty hills ; two to three pounds to one acre.
