CUCUMBER 
One ounce wilt plant 50 hills; 2 pounds to the acre 
Culture. — For very early Cucumbers, sow April 1 in a hot- 
bed, 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 
succession pul 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 middle of July.
