R.B.BUCHANAN SEED CQ MEMPHIS,TENNESSEE. 
CUCUMBER SEEDS 
CULTURE—One ounce will plant 50 hills ; 1 to 2 pounds will plant 1 acre. Cucumbers succeed best in warm, rich, sandy 
loam, and should not be planted in open air until there is a prospect of settled warm weather. Plant in hills about 4 feet 
apart each way, and when all danger of insects is past, thin out the plants, leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest to each hill.
