CUCUMBER 
Cucumbers flourish best in rich loamy soil. When 
the weather has become warm plant in hills 4 to 5 
feet apart each way, putting 10 to 12 seeds in a hill. 
As the plants appear above the surface they should 
be diligently watched and protected against insect 
enemies. This may be accomplished by sprinkling 
hydrated lime, ashes, tobacco dust or other insecti¬ 
cides on the hills. Finally thin the young plants to 
4 in each hill. For a succession continue planting 
at intervals. Fruits should not be left on the vines 
to ripen, as this diminishes productiveness. For late 
pickles sow in late June.
