RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
CUCUMBER =?■■ 
CULTURE—To have the earliest cucumbers, start in pots, small paper boxes, berry boxes or on 
pieces of sod, grass side down so that they can be readily transplanted without checking the 
growth. For the general crop, plant in the open ground as soon as the weather becomes settled 
warm, about the end of April or during May, not owr an inch deep, in hills about four feet apart 
each way. The hills should be previously prepared by mixing well-rotted manure with the soil. 
Put about ten seeds in each hill, and thin out to four plants, and give frequent but shallow culti¬ 
vation. Gather whether wanted or not, for if left to ripen the yield is reduced. Por pickling, plant 
in June or July. One ounce will plant fifty hills; two pounds one acre.
