Do not try to grow Cucumbers in poorly prepared ground. 
Make low Hat hills from four to six feet apart, each hill two 
or three feet across, and thoroughly pulverize sixteen to 
eighteen inches deep. Mix a large shovelful of rotted ma¬ 
nure in the soil of each hill, and plant from six to eight seeds 
in each, as some are apt to fail. If bugs appear, dust with 
slug shotor with limeand soot. Allow no fruit to ripen on 
vines. For pickles and late Cucumbers, seed can be sown 
>s late as July.

Japanese Climbing This Cucumber is such a strong and 
vigorous grower that the vines attain twice the length of 
ordinary varieties. The vines climb readily, and they 
may be grown on fences, poles or trellises, thus saving 
much valuable space in small gardens. The fruits are of 
a fine lovely green color, about a foot in length. Flesh 
.thick and firm and of splendid quality. Never bitter and 
exceedingly fine for pickling as well as for slicing. The 
vines never mildew and the fruit being raised well above 
the ground is always free from insects, rot or rust. 
When picked freely a vine will continue bearing during 
the entire season and one bill will keep a good sized 
family supplied with this delicious vegetable all sum>
