Maule's Cucumbers 



CULTURE — Flourish best in a rich, warm, sandy loam. Sow when 

 danger of frost is over, in hills 4 or 5 feet each way. As the young- 

 plant has many enemies, sow thickly half an inch deep, and thin out 

 finally to three, or four plants to the hill. For pickles plant during 

 June and July. Use a packet of seed to 15 hills; an ounce to 75 hills, 2 

 to 3 pounds to the acre. Ready to use in 50 to 80 days. Gather cucum- 

 bers by cutting, not tearing. Leave none to ripen on the vines if you 

 want a full crop.
