CUCUMBERS 
HOW TO GROW CUCUMBERS.— They want a rich, warm, well-worked soil. Plant in hills about 4 feet apart each way. 
Plant 8 or 10 seeds in each hill. When the plants are up strong, thin out, leaving four of the strongest ones in each hill. For 
early crop, plant as soon as the weather is settled and soil is warm, during May. By starting plants under glass or in pots, they 
will have a good start and can be set out in May. For pickles, for late use, and for canning, plant in June. Other plantings may 
be contmued until July 15. Keep gathering the Cucumbers; do not allow any to ripen, or it will stop the vines from continuing to 
bear. Spray the plants from the very beginning with Pyrox; it kills the bugs and prevents blight. One ounce will plant 50 hills; 
2 pounds to the acre.
