Cine auticg will plant 50 hills; three pounds for an acre. — 
CULTURE—Cucumbers require warm rich soil. When all 
danger of frost is past, plant in low flat hills, 4 to 6 feet apart each 
way. Scatter 10 to 12 seeds in a one foot circle in each hill and 
cover one-half inch. If the soil is naturally poor, work a forkful of 
decayed manure into each hill before planting. When plants are 
about 5 inches tall, thin out, leaving the five strongest to each hill. 
Keep the soil cultivated as long as it can be done without injuring 
the spreading vines. Kill Squash Bugs and Cucumber Beetles with 
Pyrocide Dust, see Page 23.
