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. And they may also be planted in 
rows 4 feet apart. 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 continued until July 15. Keep gathering 
the Cucumbers; do not allow any to ripen, or 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.
