CRESS, OR PEPPERGRASS 
One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill. 
A popular salad which should be sown early in the Spring very 
thickly in shallow drills and at short intervals for succession, as it 
soon runs to seed. 
Extra Curled. The best variety grown; leaves 
are beautifully cut and curled; highly prized 
for garnishing. 
Upland, or Broad-leaved Winter. A garden sub¬ 
stitute for Water Cress; crisp, tender and per¬ 
fectly hardy. 
True Water Cress. Water Cress requires a 
stream of running water, ditch or pond, in 
which it will grow without care, except at 
first keeping weeds from interfering with it.

CUCUMBERS 
One ounce to 60 hills, 2 to 3 pounds to one acre. 
For very early use seed may be started in heat and the plants set 
out in May. Pieces of inverted sod are an excellent medium for start¬ 
ing and growing early Cucumber plants, as they can readily be lifted 
from the hotbed to the garden without disturbing the young plants 
growing upon them. For main crop plant in hills 4 feet apart at the 
end of May. Keep the young plants safe from the striped bug 
dusting with dry plaster or powdered Hellebore. Leave four strong 
plants to each hill.
