CUCUMBERS 



CiTLTUHE. For very early Cucumbers, sow April 1 in a hotbed on pieces of sod (grass side down), 

 so that they can be transplanted to the open ground in rich soil when danger of frost is over. The vines 

 require a warm location for early Cucumbers. Plant after the ground has become warm, J4 inch deep, 

 in hills 4 feet apart for the smaller varieties and 5 feet for the larger sorts. For pickling, sow from middle 

 of June to last of July. Manure with wood-ashes, fertilizer, or some well-rotted compost, working the 

 manure just under the surface. Sow 1 ounce of seed to 50 hills, 2 pounds an acre.
