in hills 4 or 5 feet each way or in rows. The seeds should be used in abundance, as the young plant has 
many enemies. Plant half an inch below the surface, and thin out finally to 3 or 4 plants to the hill. Use 
1 ounce of seed to 75 hills; 2 to 8 pounds to the acre. he cucumbers should be gathered (by cutting not 
tearing) every day or every other day. Leave none to ripen if you want a full crop.

MAULE’S EARLY WHITE SPINE.—This | 
§ cucumber cannot be praised too highly. It is 
nothing more nor less than an extra fine type 
of what is unquestionably the best and most} 
widely grown variety in America. It is un- 
surpassed as a table and market sort, and is 
J also used for pickling. No other kind exceeds | 
Jit in productiveness, and it is equally good for 
jj forcing under glass or growth in the open air. 
[I have a record of where a single hill of three§ 
vines produced over 500 cucumbers, during the 
season. The fruit is from 5 to7 inches long and 
42 to 3 inches in diameter. Color, a beautiful f 
Wlight green. This illustration shows most ac- 
a curately the fine shape this cucumber attains.
