PERFEGRO BRAND 
HIGH QUALITY SEEDS 
Cucumbers 
(Cetriolo-Cohombro-Gurken) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed 
will plant 50 hills, 2 pounds an acre. 
Cucumbers succeed best in warm, 
moist, rich loamy soil. Plant as soon 
as danger from frost has passed. In 
hills about 4 feet apart each way. 
Prepare the hills by mixing a shovel¬ 
ful of well-rotted manure with soil. 
Plant the seed about an inch deep, 10 
to 12 seeds to the hill. Do not allow 
any fruit to ripen, as that will cause 
them to stop bearing. When all dan¬ 
ger of insect attack is over, thin to 
3 to 4 plants to the hill.
