CUCUMBER. 



Gurken, Ger. Cojicombre, Fr. Pepino, Sp. 



One ounce v^ill plant fifty hills ; two pounds will plant one acre. 



For veiy early Cucumbers, sow the Ist of April in a hot-bed, upon pieces of sod (grass-side down), so that they can be readily 

 transplanted to the open ground, in rich soil, when danger of frost is over, or protect by hand-glasses. For early use, plant if the 

 weather has become settled and warm in hills about 4 feet apart each way; thin out to four of the strongest plants to each hill, 

 after all danger from insects is over; they succeed best in a warm, moist, rich, loamy soil ; continue planting at intervals for a 

 succession. The Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use, whether required or not; if left to ripen, it destroys 

 their productiveness. For pickles, plant from June until the middle of July.
