Planting Instructions a light 
warm soil is preferable but they will 
grow in almost any soil if there is good 
drainage. When all danger of frost is 
past sow the seed about % inch deep in 
hills 4 feet apart each way. Earlier crops 
may be had by starting the plants in a 
hotbed and transplanting about three or four of the 
young plants to a hill or by using Hotkaps. Keep the soil 
well fertilized and well cultivated between the plants 
until the vines cover it. Keeping them picked before they 
reach full size will cause the plants to bear longer. 
Hybrid Cucumber Unequaled for size, shape and 
quality. One of its best characteristics is its high re- 
sistance to mosaic and downey mildew. Vines are very 
vigorous and bear for a long time. This results in large 
yields. One grower reports that he picked 728 good 
cucumbers from seven plants. Try it this season. Pkt.,
