LUCUMBERS 
SURE CROP HYBRID 
CULTURE: Cucumbers prefer a heavy loam. After 
danger of frost has passed, plant the seed 3% inch deep 
in rows 4 feet apart. Drill about 3 pounds seed to the 
acre and when plants have 4 or 5 leaves, thin to 1 
plant every 18 inches. Can also be planted in hills 3 
io 4 feet apart. Cultivate often and irrigate about once 
a week. Keep the cucumbers picked as fast as they 
reach the size desired. If fruits are allowed to remain 
on the vine, the vines cease to bear fruit.
