CUCUMBER, GERMAN, GURKE 



cxjiuxrirK. 



(One ounce will plant 50 hills; two ibs. 

 will plant one acre.) 

 For very early Cucumbers sow the first of 

 April in a hot-bed, upon pieces of sod (grass 

 side down), so that they can be readily trans- 

 planted to the open ground, in rich soil, when 

 danger of frost is over, or protect by hand- 

 glasses. The vines require a warm location 

 for early Cucumbers. Plant after the ground 

 has become warm, in hills four feet apart tor 

 the smaller varieties, and five feet for tlie 

 larger sorts For pickling sow from middle 

 of June to last of July. Manure with ashes, 

 fertilizer or soniewell-rotted compost, working 

 the manure just under the surface. Sprinkle 

 the vines with slug-shot, plaster or air-slacked 

 lime, to protect from bugs. The Cucumbers 

 should be gathered when large enough for use. 

 whether required or not; if left to ripen, it de- 

 stroys their productiveness.
