CUCUMBERS 
Cucumbers succeed best in a rich, loamy soil and should 
be planted in May when the ground has warmed up. 
Plant the seed in slightly raised hills, 4 feet apart each 
way, place 6 or 8 seeds in each hill in a circle and cover 
with one inch of fine soil. After the plants are well 
started thin out to 4. Cucumbers thrive on well rotted 
compost and a shoveful of old manure should be placed 
6 inches deep under each hill and firmly tramped down. 
Have the soil moist before planting so that no watering 
is required until the seeds have sprouted, otherwise they 
may rot. After they begin to set fruit, water freely by 
sprinkling vines for about 10 minutes every other day 
or so. They mature in 120 days. One ounce will plant 
100 hills. ,
