CULTURE. — For growth of cucumbers, 

 hills are raised, standing five feet 

 apart. Quite rich sandy soil is best. If neces- 

 sary 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 prac- 

 ticable water during the drought; keep soil 

 loose and free from weeds.
