CUCUMBERS 
One ounce to 60 hills 
For very early use seed may be started in 
heat and the plants set out in May. Pieces

as they can readily be lifted from the hotbed 
to the garden without disturbing the young 
plants growing upon them. For main crop 
plant in hills 4 feet apart at the end of May. 
Keep the young plants safe from the striped 
bug by dusting with dry plaster or powdered 
Hellebore. Leave four strong plants to 
each hill.
