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 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 succes- 
sion, put in a warm, moist, rich loamy soil, and continue plant- 
ing 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 July.
