FRAME CUCUMBER. 
We conducted an important trial of Cucumbers quite recently and could not find anything superior in 
either shape or colour to the leading kinds we now offer. 
The Cultivation of Frame Cucumber .— Sow in a pot or pan during March in heat for Summer use, keeping the seed-pan shaded from 
strong lights until the seedlings appear, then transplant to well-prepared hot-bed, or other position, when the plants are sufficiently 
established. Sow again in September for winter use. (See also Carters’ Practical Gardener for full information on the 
- 4 culture of Cucumbers ; price is., post free is. yd.)
