DILL 
CULTURE: Sow in early Spring in 18 inch rows, 
planting about 14 inch deep. When plants are estab- 
lished, thin out to 12 inches apart in the row. The 
branches and seeds are used in dill pickles; the 
young stalks and leaves are used in flavoring fish 
and other dishes. 
VARIETIES:— 
Long Island Mammoth — A large superior type of 
dill which produces plants about 2% feet tall with 
extremely cut leaves. Seed is flat, brown, strong 
and bitter in flavor, borne in clusters branching 
from the plant. 75 days. 
CUCUMBER 
CULTURE: Cucumbers grow best in a rich, moist, 
well-fertilized, well-cultivated soil. Sow in hills 
about 3 feet apart each way after soil is warm in 
the Spring. Use 4 to 6 seeds to a hill and thin out 
after the vines are well started. Keep picking as 
fast as fruit reaches picking stage to allow more 
fruit to set on vines.
