CUCUMBERS 
For very early Cucumbers, start seeds in pots in the frame or greenhouse, 
and set plants out when all danger of frost is past. For main crop, plant in 
hills outdoors, 3 feet apart, the beginning of May. Leave four strong 
plants to each hill. Cucumbers should be gathered as quickly as they are 
ready for use, for, if left to ripen, they destroy the productiveness of the 
vine. For pickling, plant during June and July. 
One ounce is sufficient for 40 hills
