Cucumber. 



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

 dowu), so that they can be readily transplanted to op enground, 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 

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

Culture.— Sow in June, July and August; cover lightly; when up, thin out 

 to 8 inches apart and water well afterward, if dry. When the leaves are 6 to 8 

 inches long, blanch by gathering in the hand and tying together near the 

 top with yarn or bast. This must be done when quite dry, or they will rot. 

 At the approach of Winter, take up carefully, with a ball of earth to each 

 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.
