One ounce to 50 hills. One to two pounds to 

 an acre. 



CULTURE. — For growth of cucumbers, 

 hills are raised, standing five feet apart. 

 Quite rich, sandy soil is best. If necessary 

 enrich the hills with a mixture of sandy soil 

 and strong rotted 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 promising; if practi- 

 cable water during the drought; keep soil 

 loose and free from weeds.
