CUCUMBER 
Cucumbers flourish best in rich loamy soil. When the 
weather has become warm plant in hills 4 to 5 feet apart 
each way, putting 10 to 12 seeds in a hill. As the plants 
appear above the surface they should be diligently 
watched and protected from insects. Rotenone dust will 
be found very effective. When well started, thin to 4 
plants to a hill. Fruits should not be left on the vines 
to ripen as this diminishes productiveness. Later plantings 
may be made until June.
