CUCUMBERS

Culture. — For very early Cucumbers, sow April i in 
a hotbed upon pieces of sod (grass side down), so that 
they can be readily transplanted to the open ground in 
rich soil when danger of frost is over, or protected by 
hand-glasses. For early use, plant after the weather has 
Golden Self-Blanching Celery become warm and settled in hills about 4 feet apart each 
way; thin out to four of the strongest plants to each hill, 
when all danger from insects is over. For succession, put in a warm, moist, rich loamy soil and continue 
planting at intervals for a succession. The Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use, whether 
required or not. If left to ripen, it destroys their productiveness. For pickles, plant from June until the mid- 
dle of July.
