VEGETABLE SEEDS 
CUCUMBERS SWEET CORN 
Culture. Reasonably good soil that is fully exposed to the sun 
will raise a good crop of Cucumbers. Every family should be 
supplied from its home garden, since the fruit is so much 
better when gathered fresh from the vines as desired for use 
than it is in the more or less wilted condition in which it is 
found on the market. Cucumbers are close relatives of 
melons but mature in about 60 days and may be brought to 
maturity with little trouble in the home garden. The seeds 
must be sown after the ground becomes warm, and the plants 
thinned to three or four to the hill. A very rich soil is the 
best precaution against insects and the blight. The striped 
beetle should be kept away from the young plants with liberal 
applications of powdered DUTOX. Dust the under side of the 
leaves with NICO-DUST to kill aphis.
