18 MAX SCHLING inc., 24 WEST 59th STREET, NEW YORK 
CUCUMBERS 
For very early Cucumbers, start seeds in pots in the frame or greenhouse, and set plants 
.out when all danger of frost is past — about the latter part of May. For main crop, plant 
in hills outdoors, 3 feet 
apart, the beginning of 
May. Leave four strong 
plants to each hill. Cu- 
cumbers should be gath- 
ered as quickly as they 
are ready for use, for, if 
left to ripen, they destroy 
the productiveness of the 
vine. For pickling, plant 
during June and July. 
One ounce is sufficient for 
50 hills
