CUCUMBER 
1 ounce will plant 100 feet in hills; 2 to 4 Ibs., for an acre; 10 to 15 Ibs., when drilled. 
Culture; Cucumbers may be sown from April until August, but for the main crop the 
seed should be sown in the open ground as soon as danger of frost is past. 
usual way of sowing is to put the seed in hills 4 by 6 feet, the method employed around 
Norfolk is to drill the seed three-fourths of an inch deep in rows 6 feet apart, between 
garden peas, which act as a shelter, and thinned to 3 or 4 plants in the hill, 12 inches 
The young plants are often attacked by insects, and should not be thinned out 
until they are large enough to be safe. The Cucumbers should be gathered as fast as they 
are produced, whether they are wanted or not, as the vines will otherwise cease to bear.
