CULTURE For very early, sow in hotbeds upon pieces of sod, or in small pots, and they can be readily transplanted with a gain of about six weeks 

 before they can be sown in the open ground. 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 a handful of earth. For general crops, sow in the open ground as soon as the weather is settled and warm, and every two weeks for a succes- 

 sion. For pickles sow from middle of June to first week in 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.
