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 groups of 8 or 10 seeds 4 feet 
apart in rows 4 to 6 feet apart. For early crop, plantas 
soon as 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.
