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

rocide Dust, see Prices Below.

The letters W.S. and B.S. indicate the white spined
