CUCUMBERS 
Cucumbers grow best in a rich, loamy soil and should be planted when the soil has 
become warm. Plant the seed 4 feet apart each way, place 6 or 8 seeds in each hill 
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 shovelful 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, other- 
wise they may rot. After they begin to set fruit, water freely. They mature in 120 
days. One ounce will plant 100 hills. 
HALLAWELL’S SLICER—After several years of 
trial we are introducing this new cucumber 
which we think is tops in every respect. It is
