FARQUHAR'S RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS

CUCUMBER. 



Pepino (Sp.) 



Culture. For very early use, seed may be started in heat and the plants set out in May. Pieces of inverted sod are an excellent medium for 

 starting and growing early Cucumber plants as they can be readily lifted from the hotbed to the garden without disturbing the young plants 

 growing upon them. For main crop, plant in hills 4 feet apart in the end of May; leave four strong plants to each hill. The Cucumbers should 

 be gathered when fit for use as if left to ripen their productiveness is destroyed. For pickles, plant during June and July. One ounce of seed 

 sows 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds, an acre.
