OLDS' CUCUMBERS 
CULTURE: Plant in hills 4 feet apart, as soon as the weather is favorable, sowing 8 to 12 seeds to a hill and 
covering about one inch deep. When the fourth leaf appears, thin to 3 plants to the hill. A packet will plant 12 
to 15 hills, two pounds one acre. Be sure and have the ground free from clods in growing long varieties. This will 
insure straight fruits. Use Slug Shot for the striped bugs. See page 93.
