CUCUMBERS 
One package of seed will sow 25 hills; 1 ounce about 100 hills. 
: Cucumbers should be raised in every home garden. They can be grown to perfection with ordinary care. Plant seed when danger from frost 
is over, an inch deep in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way, dropping six seeds in a hill. When second set of leaves has formed, thin to 3 plants to 
a hill. Cultivate thoroughly until runners make this impossible. If plants are attacked by beetles, spray with Bordeaux, arsenate of lead, or use 
one of the new DDT sprays or dusts. Make a second sowing of seed about 5 weeks later to furnish you with Cucumbers and pickles for preserving. 
a For earlier Cukes place Hotkaps over the seed after you pliant 
, it. They keep the soil moist, bugs away, protect from frost.
