ALL THE BEST SORTS FOR SALADS AND PICKLING. 



For general crops the seed cannot be planted in the open ground before the weather has become warm and settled, and the ground 

 mellow and light. Plant the seeds in well enriched hills about 4 feet apart each way, and as soon as all danger from insects is over, thin 

 the plants to leave four of the strongest in each hill. For succession, sow at intervals of every two weeks until midsummer. Extra early 

 crops may be grown by planting the seeds in hotbeds in April upon pieces of sod turned upside down, and removing these to hills in the 

 open ground as soon as the weather is warm enough. For pickles, sow seed from the middle of June until the middle of July. The vines 

 bear longer if the fruits are gathered as soon as they are large enough ; their strength is soon exhausted by ripening fruits. An ounce 

 of see'd will plant 50 hills ; two pounds will plant an acre.
