CULTURE 



For very early Cucumbers sow the first of April in a hotbed 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 early Cucumbers. Plant after the ground has become warm in hills 4 feet apart for the smaller 

 varieties, and 5 feet for the la rarer sort. 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-shot, plaster of 

 air-slaked lime to protect from bugs. The Cucumbers should 

 be gathered when large enough for use, whether required or
