CUCUMBERS 
For an extra-early crop, start indoors or in 
a frame about April 1, sowing the seed in 
paper pots or dirt-bands and transplant to the 
garden the latter part of May, disturbing the 
roots as little as possible. Sow the main crop 
directly in the garden late in May, and, for a 
continuous supply, make additional sowings 
every two weeks up to the middle or latter 
part of July. Prepare hills 4 to 6 feet apart, 
digging up the soil to a depth of a foot or 
more and mixing in plenty of manure or com- 
post. Leave the soil in the hills loose and a 
little higher than the general level of the gar- 
den. Sow eight to ten seeds in each hill and 
thin out all but the strongest three or four 
plants. Do not disturb the vines after they 
have started to spread. If the striped beetles 
interfere with the development of the young 
plants, spray them with Nicotine Pyrox or dust 
with Rotenone Dust. See insecticide pages. 
An ounce of seed will plant about fifty 
hills; 2 pounds of seed will be required 
for an acre
