Banote Eggplant is one of the most tender vegetables and cannot stand outdoor conditions during early Spring. The 
. seeds should be sown about the end of March in a greenhouse or hotbed. Broadcast the seeds over the surface 

of flats filled with well pulverized soil of good quality and cover with no more than 1 inch of finely sifted loam. 
As soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle thin out or transplant so that they stand 6 to 8 inches apart. 
When outdoor conditions become settled and warm (from about June 5 to 15) the plants should be set in the 
garden spaced about 3 feet apart. 
Cropping dates, figured from time plants are set out in the garden.

CUCUMBERS 
Time to Plant—Do not sow outdoors until the weather has become settled and warm, during June. 
Soil Preparation—Cucumbers prefer a rich, porous soil and we suggest digging in a generous shovelful of 
well rotted manure when preparing each hill. 
Planting—Sow in hills (7 or 8 seeds to each hill) spaced about 4 feet apart in each direction. Cover with not 
more than 1% inch of soil. When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin out to leave only 3 or 4 plants to each hill. 
An abundance of moisture is always needed.
