CUCUMBER 
CULTURE. Cucumbers should not be planted until all danger of frost is over as they are 
very sensitive to frost. They require a great deal of water, and unless planted in a rather 
moist soil, it should be given frequent irrigation throughout the summer. Plant from Feb¬ 
ruary to September in hills 4 to 6 feet each way. 8 to 1 0 seeds to a hill. Earlier sowing can 
be made by protecting with Hotkaps. Thin out the plants leaving 2 or 3 of the strongest in 
each hill. It is ready for table in 6 weeks from planting. One ounce of seed will plant 50 
hills. 30 pounds to an acre.
