Cucumber 
Culture—For general crop plant when the ground has become warm, in hills 4 feet apart each 
way. Thin out to 4 plants to each hill after all danger of insects is over. For very early cucumbers 
sow about April 1st, in a hotbed on a piece of sod, grass side down so that they can be easily trans¬ 
planted to the open ground when danger of frost is over. 
One ounce will plant fifty hills; two pounds will plant an acre.
