Plant after danger of frost and up to middle of June, in rows 5 feet apart or in hills 5 feet each way, It is 
well to put 8 to 10 seeds in each hill as some of the plants may be destroyed by bugs. After true leaves appear,

There are three general classes of cucumbers according to their uses: the small pickle, the dill type, and the 
long, slicing varieties. National Pickling is a standard small pickle variety. If you prefer early pickles, Mincu 
will produce them. Seneca Early White Spine produces those dark green, medium length, blocky cucumbers 
suitable for dill pickles. Marketer, Cubit, A & C, and Straight 8 are all good slicer varieties. In our trials 
Marketer and A & C have yielded better than Cubit or Straight 8; however, we still think Cubit is about the 
most perfect cucumber, in shape and color, that we have ever grown. 
Cucumber beetles can be controlled with Rotenone Dust. DDT should not be used on cucumbers.
