Rel iable Garden Seed 7 
CUCUMBER 
Cucumbers succeed best in rich loamy soil. As soon 
as the weather becomes warm and settled, plant in 
hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way, with 10 to 12 seeds 
in a hill; cover one-half inch deep. Air slaked lime 
or “Slug Shot” sprinkled on the plants every few 
days as soon as they are up will protect them from 
the striped beetle. When all danger from insects is 
past, thin out plants leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest 
to each hill. The fruit should be picked when large 
enough, otherwise it destroys their productiveness. 
One ounce to 60 hills. Two to 3 pounds per acre.
