CUCUMBERS ■

excellent medium for starting and 
growing early Cucumber plants, as

hotbed to the garden without dis¬ 
turbing the young plants growing upon 
them. For main crop plant in hills 
4 feet apart at the end of May. Keep 
the young plants safe from the striped 
bug by dusting with dry plaster or 
powdered hellebore. Leave foui strong 
plants to each hill.
