CUCUMBERS 
for Pickling and Salads 
Plant seed when danger of frost is over, in a rich, loamy 
soil. Sow seed in hills, 4 to 6 feet apart, putting 6 to 8 
seeds to each hill, and cover with 1 inch of fine soil. Thin 
out to 4 healthiest vines when second set of leaves have 
formed. Have soil moist when planting so that no addi- 
tional watering is required until seeds have germinated, 
as too much water may rot seeds. After vines begin to 
set fruit, water freely.
