One ounce will plant 50 hills; three pounds for 
an acre. 
CULTURE—Cucumbers require warm rich soil. 
When all danger of frost is past plant in low flat 
hills, 4 to 6 feet apart each way. Scatter 10 to 
12 seeds in a one foot circle in each hill and 
cover one-half inch. If the soil is naturally poor, 
work a forkful of decayed manure into each hill 
before planting. When plants are about 5 inches 
tall, thin out, leaving the five strongest to each 
hill. Keep the soil cultivated as long as it can 
be done without injuring the spreading vines. Kill 
Squash Bugs and Cucumber Beetles with Pyrocide 
Dust, see Prices Below. 
NOTE—Days from planting to picking are listed here. 
The letters W. S. and B. S. indicate the white spined 
and black spined varieties.
