CUCUMBER IB- 
CULTURE—To have the earliest cucumbers, start in pots, small 
paper boxes, berry boxes or on pieces of sod, grass side down, so 
that they can be readily transplanted without checking' the growth. 
For the general crop, plant in the open ground as soon as the 
weather becomes settled warm, about the end of April or during 
May, not over an inch deep, in hills about four feet apart each way. 
The hills should be previously prepared by mixing well-rotted 
manure with the soil. Put about ten seeds in each hill, and thin 
out to four plants, and give frequent but shallow cultivation. 
Gather whether wanted or not, for if left to ripen the yield is 
reduced. For pickling, plant in June or July. One ounce will plant 
fifty hills; two pounds one acre.
