' Crisp Flesh—Extra Quality 
Cucumber 
A packet will plant 20 hills; 1 ounce about 75 hills; 2 lbs. to the acre; if drilled, use 4 lbs. 
Rapid growth and high yields of this vegetable seem to be associated with thorough 
preparation of the soil, frequent shallow cultivation and ample supply of well-rotted 
manure in the soil. A sandy soil is preferred. The first two weeks in June are the best 
seeding dates. The most popular practice is to seed liberally in hills 3 to 5 feet apart, 
three or four of the healthiest plants being allowed to mature in each hill. For con- 
tinued production, remove each Cucumber as it matures,
