For very early Cucumbers, s)\v 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 b;st ia 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.
