Our List of Cucumbers Consists of the Leading Varieties for Florida 
CUCUMBER 
Plant 2 pounds pet acre 
Kilgore’s Improved “A & C” 
Culture. Fall planting begins early in August and continues 
through September. Plant in rows 4 feet apart in hills 2 feet 
apart in the drill, dropping 6 to 8 seeds in each hill. It is 
desirable to treat cucumber seed with Semesan or some other 
good disinfectant before planting. Cucumbers are pollinated 
by either tame or wild bees. Under unfavorable conditions, or 
in isolated locations, it is always desirable to provide a strong 
hive of bees in cucumber fields in order to insure perfect 
pollination. The bees should not be placed in the field before 
the cucumbers begin to blossom in order to provide food for 
the bees so they will remain in the cucumber fields. Without 
proper pollination the cucumbers are deformed, or at least a 
large percentage of bottlenecks and nubbins are produced, and 
this is due entirely to lack of bees to facilitate proper pollination.
