Pees VEGETABLE SEEDS 
CUCUMBER 
Plant from February 15th to July 15th in hills 4 feet apart 
each way, dropping from 8 to 10 seeds per hill, and cover an 
inch deep. When they are about 5 inches high and danger 
of insects is past, thin out, leaving only four of the largest and 
healthiest plants to each hill. Cucumbers are extremely easy 
to grow and a few hills will produce an abundance for an 
average family. They are of very rapid growth, maturing 
from 6 to 8 weeks from date of planting. Keep the crop picked, 
when large enough for use, whether required or not; other- 
wise, if left to ripen, they will stop bearing.
