CUCUMBERS for Pickles and Salads 

a, 
Plant as soon as the weather has become 
settled and warm, in hills 4 feet each way. 
Cucumbers succeed best in warm, moist, rich, 
loamy soil. Plant the seeds about half. inch 
deep. When all danger of insect attack is over, 
thin to about three or four of the strongest 
plants to the hill. Do not allow any fruit to 
ripen on the vines, as this will cause them to 
stop bearing.

known varieties for market and home 
gardens. Fruits nearly cylindrical, 
tapering slightly at both ends. Uni-
