CUCUJVIBER. 



Gurken, Ger. Concomhre, Fe. Pepino, Sp. 



For very early Cucumbers, sow the 1st 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 be.st 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.
