OLDS’ SELECT CUCUMBERS 
CULTURE: Plant in hills 4 feet apart, as 
soon as the weather is favorable, sowing 8 to 12 
seeds to a hill and covering about one inch deep. 
When the fourth leaf appears, thin to 3 plants to 
the hill. Hotkaps will hasten growth and protect 
plants. See page 26. A packet will plant 12 to 
15 hills, two pounds one acre. Be sure and have 
the ground free from clods .in growing long va- 
rieties. This will insure straight fruits. Use 
Slug Shot or Garden Guard for the striped bugs,
