CUCUMBERS 
Make your first sowing of Cucumbers after all danger of frost has passed, to 
supply fruits for summer use, and a second sowing in late June or early July to 
furnish Cucumbers for fall use. Pickling Cucumbers usually are sown during 
midsummer. One oz. of seed plants 100 hills, and 1 lb. of seed is needed to 
plant one acre. Most varieties mature in 50 to 65 days after sowing; London 
or Improved Long Green and Longfellow need 70 days to mature.
