Cucumbers 



(Gurken) 



Cucumbers thrive best in a rich, warm, loamy soil, and planting 

 should be delayed until settled warm weather. Make hills about 

 4 feet apart each way and thoroughly mix into the soil well-rotted 

 manure to a depth of 6 inches or more. Scatter 12 to 15 seeds 

 to a hill and cover 1 inch deep; thin out to 3 or 4 of the strongest 

 plants after danger of insects is over. 



One ounce of seed will plant about 50 hills.
