CUCUMBERS 
One ounce will plant 50 hills, 2 pounds an acre 
Culture. — For very early Cucumbers, sow April 1 
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 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 in- 
sects is over. For succession, put in a warm, moist, 
rich, losypiy 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 
middle of
