CUCUMBER _ The Cultivation of Indoor Cucumber .— 
" English Forcing or Frame varieties for 
winter use must be started under glass early in September, in 
pots or pans, keeping the seed pans shaded from strong light 
until the seedlings appear. When established, transplant to the 
permanent position in hotbeds or greenhouse, in a well-prepared 
soil, and supply freely with lukewarm water and light liquid 
manures; or sow in a pot or pan during February or March in 
heat for summer use, keeping the seed-pan shaded from strong 
light until the seedlings appear, then transplant to well-prepared 
hot-bed or other position, when the plants are sufficiently 
established. If intended for cold-frame culture the plants must 
not be put out until all danger of frost is past.
