 of running streams, ditches and ponds, and sold in immense quantities in our markets in spring. 

 Where it does not grow naturally, it is easity introduced by planting along the margins of ponds

 larly pleasant, pungent taste, agreeable to most people.

CUCUMBER. 



German, Gierke. — French, Goncombre. — Spanish, Gohombro. 

 Cucumbers succeed best in warm, moist, rich loamy ground. They should not be planted 

 in the open air until there is a prospect of settled, warm weather. Plant in hills about four feet 

 apart each way. The hills should be previously prepared, by mixing thoroughly with the soil 

 in each a shovelful of well-rotted manure. When all danger from insects is past, thin out the 

 plants, leaving three or four of the strongest to each hill. The fruit should be plucked when 

 large enough, whether required for use or not, as, if left to ripen on the vines, it destroys their 

 productiveness.
