One ounce will plant fifty hills; two pounds will plant one acre. For early Cucum- 
bers sow April first in a hotbed and transplant without damaging the roots after 
the ground has become warm, or sow ¥% to 1 inch deep in hills 4 to 6 ft. apart each 
way when the weather has become settled. Thin out, leaving four strongest plants 
in each hill. Make succession plantings every 10 days to provide a continuous supply 
of fresh fruits.
