CULTURE 



For verv earlv Cucumbers s..w the first of April in a hotbt-a upon pieces of sod (grass side down), so that they 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 earlv Cucumbers. Plant after the ground has become warm 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 ashes, fertilizer or 

 some well-rotted compost, working the manure just under the surface. Sprinkle the vines with slug-sliot. plaster of 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 destroys their productiveness.
