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 \'arieties, and 5 feet for the larger 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 not; if left to ripen, it destroys their productiveness.
