CUCUMBERS 
CULTURE. For early, sow seed in hot bed in small pots 
and plant out when danger of frost is over. They can be 
marketed with a gain of six or seven weeks over those 
sown in the open ground. For general crops, drop in hills 
four to six feet apart, as soon as the weather is warm, 
10 to 12 seeds in a hill, cover half an inch deep and pat 
it down with a hoe. Hoe often, and when out of danger 
of insects, thin out to three or four plants to a hill. Mid¬ 
dle of March to May 1st is the right time to sow for 
pickles. Pick fruits as soon as big enough to use. One 
ounce will plant about 50 hills.

grows easily, and makes a good substitute for cabbage.
