Cucumber 
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.
