For very early Cucumbers, sow the 1st of Ajjril in a hot-bed, upon pieces of sod fgrass-side down), so that they can 

 be readily transplanted to the open ground, in rich soil, when danger of frost i& 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 w^hen large enough 

 for use, whether required or not; if left to ripen, it destroys their productiveness. Far pickles, plant from June until 

 the middle of July.
