Cucumber 
All the Best Sorts for Salads and Pickling 
The seed cannot be planted in the open ground 
before the weather has become warm and settled 
and the ground mellow and light. Plant the seed 
in well-enriched hills, about 4 feet apart each 
way, and as soon as all danger from insects is 
over, thin the plants to leave four of the strong¬ 
est in each hill. Extra-early crops may be grown 
by planting the seed in hotbeds in April, upon 
pieces of sod turned upside down, and removing 
these to hills in the open ground as soon as the 
weather is warm enough.
