CUCUMBERS 
For an extra-early crop, start indoors or in a frame about 
April 1, sowing the seed in paper pots or dirt-bands and trans- 
plant to the garden the latter part of May, disturbing the roots as 
little as possible. Sow the main crop directly in the garden late in 
May, and, for a continuous supply, make additional sowings every 
two weeks up to the middle or latter part of July. Prepare hills 
4 to 6 feet apart, digging up the soil to a depth of a foot or more 
and mixing in plenty of manure or compost. Leave the soil in the 
hills loose and a little higher than the general level of the garden. 
Sow eight to ten seeds in each hill and thin out all but the strong- 
est three or four plants. Do not disturb the vines after they have 
started to spread. If the striped beetles interfere with the de- 
velopment of the young plants, spray them with Nicotine Pyrox 
or dust with Rotenone Dust. See insecticide pages. 
An ounce of seed will plant about fifty hills; 2 pounds 
of seed will be required for an acre
