CUCUMBERS 
One ounce plants 50 hills; two pounds to one acre. Plant in April or May for early crop. Ready for the table 50 to 75 days from planting. 
Culture. Rich soil or one containing plenty of well-rotted manure is best: hence hills are usually made about 4 feet apart using manure or sheep 
manure well mixed with the soil. For very earliest crop the seed may be started in hotbeds, in pets, small paper boxes, or pieces of sod, grass side 
down, so that they can be readily transplanted to open ground without disturbing the roots. For earliest crop outdoors, plant 8 to 10 seeds in hills 
or drills 4 feet apart. On cold nights or threatened frost they can be protected by pieces of paper weighted with earth ; after danger of frost and 
destruction by insects, thin the plants to about four to the hill. For late crop plant from the end of May until July. Cultivate occasionally, keei)- 
ing the grass and weeds out, and when the fruit is ready for use, pick whether wanted or not, as it will extend the life and productiveness of the vines. 
133 A. & C. CUCUMBER. This beautiful Cucumber is very pKjpular wherever grown,

and very dark green.

134 STRAIGHT EIGHT. 1935 All-America Gold Medal Award. One of the finest new

length averages about 8 inches and the color is a rich dark green. This is a very attrac¬ 
tive Cucumber and the fine quality makes it an excellent sort for slicing.

LEEK 
Leek is a kind of onion that does not form any 
bulb, but grows in a long stem, which is blanched by 
drawing earth around it. When blanched it makes an 
appetizing salad, or is eaten like green onions. Boiled 
they are more delicate in flavor than the mildest 
onions. Seed is sown in the spring and the leek is 
ready to use in the fall. If given a little protection 
with dirt it will last over winter and give a very wel¬ 
come addition to the early spring menu.

rather short but very thick stems, and uniform, and
