SEEDS AND IMPLEMENTS

I oz. to 50 hills. I to 2 lbs. to an acre. 

 Culture. — For growth of cucum-

 If necessary enrich the hills with a 

 mixture of sandy soil and strong rot- 

 ted manure. For early use, plant in 

 May; for pickling, plant in June or 

 July. Eight or ten seeds should be 

 allowed to each hill, as the young 

 plants are often destroyed by bugs. 



Soon as the plants attain vigor, thin 

 them, leaving the three most promis- 

 ing; if practicable water during the 

 %. drought; keep soil loose and free 

 from weeds.
