Curic7i, Ger. CUCUMBER. Concovibre, Fr. Pepino, Sp. One ounce will plant fifty liills; two pounds will plant one acre. CULTURE.—For very early Cucumbers, sow April 1st in a hotbed upon pieces of sod (grass side down), so that they can be readily transplanted to the open ground, in rich soil, when danger of frost is over, or protect by hand glasses. For early use, plant, if the vk'eather has become settled and warm, in hills about 4 feet apart each way ; thin out to four of the strongest plants to each hill, after all danger from insects is over; they succeed best in a warm, moist, rich, loamy soil; continue planting at inter- vals for a succession. The Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use, whether required or not; if left to ripen, it destroys their productiveness. For pickles, plant from June until ihe middle of July.
