Cress— Water 
Wasser Kresse—Crescione Acquatico 
This is a well-known hardy, perennial aquatic 
plant, growing abundantly along the margins of 
running streams, ditches and ponds. Where it 
does not grow naturally it is easily introduced by 
planting, and it increases, both by spreading of 
the roots, and by seeding.

Improved Early Fortune Cucumber 
Cucumbers 
Gurken—Pepino—Cetriolo 
Make rich hills of well-rotted manure, two feet 
in diameter, and plant a dozen or more seeds, 
covering half an inch deep. When all danger from 
insects is over, pull all but three or four of the 
strongest plants. The middle of June is early 
enough to plant for pickling. Make the hills about 
six feet apart. For early cucumbers the hot-bed 
is necessary.
