CUCUMBER. 
German, ©lirfeit. French, Concombre. 
The Cucumber is a very tender class of plant, and great care should be taken 
not to plant in the open ground until the soil becomes sufficiently warm. Plant in 
May or June, in a light rich soil, in hills four feet apart. Put eight or ten seeds in 
a hill, half an inch deep, and press the earth smoothly with the back of the hoe, and 
at the last hoeing leave three or four plants in a hill; when small sprinkle the vines 
when the dew is on, with plaster or air-slacked lime, to protect them from bugs. 
Two pounds of seed is sufficient for an acre—an ounce for eighty hills.
