CUCUMBERS 
HOW TO GROW CUCUMBERS. They want a rich, warm, well- 
worked soil. Plant in hills about 4 feet apart each way. Plant 8 to 10 
seeds in each hill. When the plants are up strong, thin out, leaving four 
of the strongest ones in each hill. For early crop, plant as soon as the 
weather is settled and soil is warm during May. By starting plants 
under glass or in pots, they will have a good start and can be set out in May. For pickles, for late use, and for canning, plant in 
June. Other plantings may be continued mitil July 15. Keep gathering the Cucumbers; do not allow any to ripen, or it will stop the 
vines from continuing to bear. Spray the plants from the very begiiming with Ever Green or some other good insecticide; it kills the 
bugs. One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 pounds to the acre. The figures give the number of days from planting to picking.
