CUCUMBER 
Cucumbers flourish best in rich loamy soil. When the 
weather has become warm plant in hills 4 to 5 feet apart 
each way, putting 10 to 12 seeds in a hill. As the plants 
appear above the surface they should be diligently watched 
and protected from insects. Rotenone dust will be found 
very effective. When well started thin to 4 plants to a 
hill. Fruits should not be left on the vines to ripen as this 
diminishes productiveness. Later plantings may be made 
until June.

SEED SHORTAGE Near failure of some seed crops has increased and extended an already acute shortage of many 
kinds of seed. Nevertheless, there should be enough seed for planting if it is not wasted. Under trying conditions we 
have grown and reserved for local planting a reasonable supply of the same high quality upon which our reputation is 
based. It is advisable to order early as supplies of some k:nds are limited, and prices are subject to change without 
notice.
