CUCUMBERS 
Sow seed after danger of frost is over, usually around 
February or March, on light rich warm soils. For 
later crops plantings can be made up to the middle of 
August. Plant 6-8 seed in hills 3-5 feet apart, covering 
% to 1 inch. When plants are 6 inches high, thin to 
the three healthiest plants. Cultivate well until run¬ 
ners interfere. Sufficiently ripe fruit can be picked 
in about 60 days. Pickling types can be picked sooner. 
Keep fruits picked close as the vines cease to set 
fruit as soon as any seed begins to mature.
