CUCUMBERS 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS —1 oz. for 60 hills;

Cucumbers require a rich loam. It is well to 
plow or dig under well rotted manure and a small 
amount of lime. The lime will help the plants 
to resist fungous diseases. For early use sow in 
berry boxes or on overturned pieces of sod and 
transplant when all danger of frost is past. Sow 
in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way, three-quarters 
of an inch deep, leaving six plants to a hill.
