Culture —For very early Cucumbers, sow the first of April in a hotbed, upon pieces of sod or in small pots, so that they can be readily 
transplanted to the open ground (in rich soil) when danger of frost is over. For general crop plant, if the weather has become settled and 
warm, in hills about 4 ft. apart each way; thin out to 4 of the strongest plants to each hill. They succeed best in a warm, moist, rich, loamy 
soil. For succession sow until the middle of August. About 60 days.
