CUCUMBER. •

Om- ounce will plant •><> 2 pounds 
Will plain one acre. 
Culture. —Form a low Pat hill of very rich soil by dig¬ 
ging a hole some three feet across and six to twelve inches 
deep, and 111] this with rich black earth from the woods. 
If such earth cannot he obtained, mix a portion of the soil 
thrown out with an equal bulk of well rotted manure, so 
as to form a flat hill some three teet across and four to 
eight inches nigh. On the hills thus formed, scatter, and 
cover one inch deep, fifteen or twenty seeds, and press the 
earth firmly over them. As soon us the plants are up, they 
will be liable to attack by the striped cucumber beetle. 
Those may be kept off by frequent dusting with airslacked 
lime, soot, or sifted ashes diluted witn fine road earth; care 
should be taken not to use too much, tor if too strong, any 
of the above materials will kill the vines. When the plants 
are well established, thin to three plants to each hill. In 
gathering pick all the fruit belore it begins to ripen, as the 
vines will cease setting fruit as soon as any seed commen¬ 
ces to mature. It should he remembered that these plants 
are very tender, and if it is desired to have them early, 
provision should he made to protect them, not only from’ 
but during cold nights. In gathering for pickles, cut the 
stem, instead of pulling the fruit, off, and be careful not to 
mar the fruit in any way, for if the skin is broken, the pick¬ 
les will not keep.

EGG PLANT.

One oiinco will prodttco about one 
thousand 
Culture. —The seed germinates slowly, and should be 
started in strong heat, for in this, as in all sub-tropical 
plants, it is of importance to secure a rapid and continuous 
growth from the first, the plants never recover from a 
check received when young. When the plants have formed 
two rough leaves, transplant to three or four inches apart. 
Keep the bed closed and very warm, shading from the 
direct rays of the sun, and giving abundance of water until 
the ground is warm and all danger not only from frost, but 
cold nights is past; then harden off the plants by gradual 
exposure to the sun and air, and decrease the supply of 
water, and carefully transplant into very warm, rich soil, 
setting the plants two and a half feet apart. If needed, 
shade the young plants and protect them from the potato 
bug which is very lond of them, and if not prevented, will 
soon destroy the young plants.
