CRESS or Pepper Grass 
The seed should be sown in drills about 16 inches apart on very rich ground. Cover with about 
¥ inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. When well started thin the plants 4 to 6 inches apart in 
the row. It may be planted very early but repeated sowings about every two weeks are necessary 
to secure a succession. Keep off insects by dusting with Pyrethrum powder. 
Curled or Pepper Grass 
The frilled or curled leaves are used for garnishing. Its warm pungent taste 
is also an appetizing addition to lettuce. The plant makes a rapid growth to 
about 1 foot high. 
CUCUMBER 
A packet will plant about 25 hills, an ounce 100 hills or about 100 feet of row. 
2 lbs. of seed per acre. 
CULTURE. Plant as soon in the spring as danger of frost is over and ground warm and mellow, 
in hills 4 feet apart each way. Place 6 to 8 seeds in a hill and cover 44 inch deep. When danger of 
bugs and worms is past, thin to four of the strongest plants in a hill. It is desirable to enrich the 
bottom of the hills with well rotted manure, which should be thoroughly mixed with the soil.
