The Rocky Mountain Seed Co., Denver, Colo 
Cucumbers 
(Cetriolo-Cohombro-Gurken) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed 
will plant 50 hills, 2 pounds an 
acre. Cucumbers succeed best in 
warm, moist, rich loamy soil, 
Plant as soon as danger from frost 
has passed. In hills about 4 feet 
apart each way. Prepare the hills 
by mixing a shovelful of well- 
rotted manure with soil. Plant the 
seed about an inch deep, 10 to 12 
seeds to the hill. Do not allow any 
fruit to ripen, as that will cause 
them to stop bearing. When all 
danger of insect attack is over, 
thin to 3 to 4 plants to the hill.
