CUCUMBER— FR. CONCOMBRE 
One ounce wiU plant about 50 hills. 
CtTLTURE — Can be easily raised in the open ground, and, when 
only a few are required, had better be grown in hills, 5 feet apart. Make 
a trench about 18 inches deep and 3 feet in diameter, and fill up with 
horse dun^, tramping same down firmly, and then cover over with 9 
inches of rich, light soil, so that over the manure the ground is slightly 
raised, and in a few days sow 4 or 6 seeds on each hill," \iltimately 
leaving the three strongest plants. It is very important that the plants 
should suffer no check from sowing to fruiting, hence watering must be 
carefully attended to.

quality, shape, color and productiveness, and is bound to'
