SEEDS AND POULTRY SUPPLIES 



CUCUMBER— Gurke 



One ounce to fifty 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 r~ ~ - ' m'/'''«1W^»* -li 



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 

 practicable, water during the drought ; keep 

 soil loose and free from weeds.
