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 
hil]. Fruits should not be left on the vines to ripen as this 
diminishes productiveness. Later plantings may be made 
until June.
