Choice Cucumbers 
One ounce to 50 hills; 2 pounds to the acre. 
The Cucumber is a tender annual, and therefore should 
not be planted or set out in the open air until there is a 
prospect of continued warm and pleasant weather. 
Cucumbers succeed best in warm, moist, rich, loamy 
ground. The hills should be four or five feet apart in 
each direction. When all danger from insecte is past, 
leave but three or four of the strongest plants in the hill. 
Dusting with Bug Death will be found effective for 
the cucumber beetle, and spraying with Black Leaf 40 
or Ever Green for the aphis.
