CULTURE 



For very early Cucumbers sow the first of April m a hotbed upon pieces of sod (grass side down) so that thev 

 can be readily transplanted 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 4 fept anart fn, 

 the smaller varieties, and 5 feet for the larger sort. For pickling sow from middle of Jun™ to last o| July ^Manu?e 

 with ashes, fertilizer or some_well-rotted compost, working the manure just under the surface. Sprinkl^e the v"nel 



with slug-shot plaster, or air-slaked 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.
