CUCUMBER. 
Pepino — Gurke — Concombre. 
Plant the seed as soon as the weather becomes settled and warm, in hills 4 feet 
apart, using a shovelful of warm, well rotted manure to each hill. Cover the 
manure 3 inches deep with fine earth, and plant 8 to 10 seeds in each hill. 
The seeds should be covered about 1 inch deep with well-pulverized soil and 
firmly pressed down with the back of the hoe. Hoe often, and when out of 
danger from insects thin to 4 plants in each hill. Cucumber as well as Melon 
and Squash seeds, are considered best when two or three years old; they run 
less to vines, and bear earlier and more abundantly. One ounce will plant 
about 100 hills. Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use, whether required or not, 
if left to ripen it destroys their productiveness.
