All-America Selections—Award of Merit 
CULTURE: Cucumbers prefer a heavy loam. 
After danger of frost has passed, plant the 
seed 3/4 inch deep in rows 4 feet apart. Drill 
about 3 pounds seed to the acre and when 
plants have 4 or 5 leaves, thin to 1 plant 
every 18 inches. Cultivate often and irrigate 
about once a week. Keep the cucumbers 
picked as fast as they reach the size desired. 
If fruits are allowed to remain on the vine, 
the vines cease to bear fruit.
