Cultural Directions. —Cucumbers succeed best in warm, mois^ 
rich, loamy ground. They should not be planted in the open fdr 
until there is a prospect of settled warm weather. Plant in hills 
about four feet apcurt each way. ^ The hills should be previously 
prepared by mixing thoroughly with the soil in each, a shovelful 
of well-rotted manure. SpnnMe the vines liberally vath Slug Shot 
to protect them from bugs, and when all danger from insects is past, 
thin out the plants, leaving three to four of the strongest to each hill. 
One ounce of seed will plant about 50 hills; two pounds will 
plant an acre.
