Gtociiiijber. Do not try to grow Cucumbers in poorly prepared ground. Make low, flat hills from four to six feet apart, each hill two or three feet across, and thoroughly pulverized sixteen to eighteen inches deep. Mixa largeshovelful of rotted manure In the soil of each hill, and plant from six to eight seeds in each, as some are apt to fail. If bugs appear dust with slug shot or with lime and soot. Allow no fruit to ripen on vines. For pickles and late Cucumbers, seed can be sown as late as July. Chllds' Ivory Monarch. The king of all Cucumbers, grow- ing nearly two feet in length and weighing Ave or six pounds. Six times larger than any other sort. It is really a monster, and when half grown exceedingly Lflne in quality. Its enormous size, great beauty and |«oddity make it one of the finest vegetables for ex- hibiting at fairs, and it never fails to capture first â » prize. Its flesh is thick and solid, with a very small 6eed cavity, and notwithstanding Its great size it has fewer seeds than anv other Cucumber we ever saw.
