Sow 7 early in the spring and at intervals throughout the season, for a succession, thickly in shallow 
drills, as it soon runs to seed. The Water Cress requires a stream of running water, ditch, or pond, in 
which it will grow without care, except at first keeping weeds from inter¬ 
fering with it. It is easily introduced by planting* along the margins of 
ditches or streams, and increases rapidly by the spreading of the roots or 
from the seed.

White Spine Cucumber 
CUCUMBER. 
German, Gurken. — French, Concombrc .. — 
Spanish, Pepino. 
The first planting should be made early in May on partly spent hot-beds ; inverted sods form an excel¬ 
lent medium for both planting on and for carrying the young plants to their permanent location, or small 
pots can be used. Such plantings are usually ready for transplanting to the open ground in from three to 
four weeks, and are seldom troubled with the striped bug. Transplanting, when practical, should be done 
in the evening, into hills four feet apart each way. Thin out to about four plants to a hill when established.. 
The seed may be planted in hills late in May, thus giving a succession. For pickles, plant during the last 
two weeks of June. 
Plaster Dust, or an Infusion of Hellebore pow’der in w^ater, will destroy the striped bug. 
One ounce will plant about fifty hills.
