CUCUMBERS 
HOW TO GROW CUCUMBERS. They want a rich, warm, 
well-worked soil. Plant in hills about 4 feet apart each way. 
Plant 8 to 10 seeds in each hill. When the plants are up strong, 
thin out, leaving four of the strongest ones in each hill. For early 
crop, plant as soon as the weather is settled and soil is warm 
during May. By starting plants under glass or in pots, they will 
have a good start and can be set out in May. For pickles, for late 
use, and for canning, plant in June. Other plantings may be con- 
tinued until July 15. Keep gathering the Cucumbers; do not 
allow any to ripen, cr it will stop the vines from continuing to 
bear. Spray or dust the plants from the very beginning with some 
good insecticide. One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 pounds to the 
acre. The figures give the number of days from planting to picking.
