Cucumber 
One ounce will plant about 50 hills, 2 to 3 pounds an 
acre. 
For very early use seed may be started in heat and the 
plants set out in May. Pieces of inverted sod are an excel¬ 
lent medium for starting and growing early Cucumber 
plants, as they can be readily lifted from the hotbed to 
the garden, without disturbing the young plants growing 
upon them. For main crop, plant in hills 4 feet apart, in the 
end of May. Make the hills rich with well rotted manure, 
and keep the young plants safe from the striped bug by 
dusting with plaster, or powdered hellebore. Leave four 
strong plants to each hill.
