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, leav- 
ing the five strongest to each hill. Keep the 
soil cultivated as long as it can be done 
without injuring the spreading vines. Kill
