CUCUMBER. The Cultivation of Indoor Cucumber.— 
English Forcing or Frame varieties for 
winter use must be started under glass early in September, in 
pots or pans, keeping the seed pans shaded from strong light 
until the seedlings appear. When established, transplant to the 
permanent position in hotbeds or greenhouse, in a well-prepared 
•oil, and supply freely with lukewarm water and light liquid 
manures; or sow in a pot or pan during February or March in 
heat for summer use, keeping the seed-pan shaded from strong 
light until the seedlings appear, then transplant to well-prepared 
hot-bed or other position, when the plants are sufficiently 
established. If intended for cold-frame culture the plants must 
not be put out until all danger of frost is past.

OUTDOOR VARIETIES. 
The Cultivation of Outdoor Cucumber.— For early use sow 
April 1st in hotbeds, upon inverted grass sods, so that they can be 
readily transplanted to the open ground in rich soil when all danger 
of frost is past. For outdoor cultivation sow the seed when the 
weather becomes settled and warm, in hills from 4 to G ft. apart each 
way. Thin out to four of the strongest plants to a hill after danger 
from insects is over. These plants exist best in a warm, moist, rich, 
loamy soil. Continue planting at intervals foi a succession. 
Cucumbers should be gathered when huge enough for use. whether 
required or not. because if left to ripen they spoil the productiveness 
of the plant. For pickles plant in June and July. 1 oz. of seed will 
plant 50 hills, 2 lb. to the acre.
