Early Russian. 
Cucumbers succeed best in warm, rich, sandy loam, and 
should not be planted in open air until there is a prospect of 
settled warm weather. Plant in hills about 4 feet apart 
each way, and, when all danger from insects is past, thin out 
the plants, leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest to each hill. 
The fruit should be gathered \¥hen large enough, whether 
required for use or not, if left on the vines longer it destroys 
their productiveness. Sow liberally, as the yellow bug will 
require a part, and it is best to have a surplus of plants. A 
large shovelful of well-rotted manure should be mixed in each 
hill.

from any other variety. At the same time the vines will have
