CULTURE—Plant cucumbers in the spring 
as soon as all danger of frost is over. If you 
are located in the light frost areas planting 
may be made two to four weeks earlier and 
receive the full benefits of the early markei 
prices. In the Sacramento Valley and simi- 
lar sections plantings are also made in the 
fall, usually August and September. Plant 6 
to 10 seeds 1 inch apart each way. One 
ounce will plant 50 hills, 3 pounds to the 
acre. After all danger of pests are removed 
and you are sure of your plants, thin out, 
leaving three of the strongest plants. Give 
abundance of water and frequent cultiva- 
tion for the best results. Cucumbers enjoy 
a light, sandy, rich soil.
