Cucumbers. (©urfen.) Early Frame. ALL THE BEST SORTS FOR SALADS AND PICKLING. The Cucumber is a species of the tender melon genus, and for general crops the seed cannot be planted in the open ground before the weather has become warm and settled, and the ground mellow and light. Plant the seeds in well enriched hills about 4 feet apart each wa^', and as soon as all danger from insects is over, thin the plants to leave four of the strongest in each hill. For succession, sow at intervals of every two weeks until midsummer. P^xtra early crops may be grown by planting the seeds in hotbeds in April upon pieces of sod turned upside down, and removing these to hills in the open ground as soon as the weather is warm enough. For pickles, sow seed from the middle of June until the middle of July. The vines bear longer if the fruits are gathered as soon as they are large enough ; their strength is soon exhausted by ripening fruits, allowing the plant to give all its strength to perfecting seeds. An ounce of seed will plant 50 hills ; two pounds will plant an acre. All Cucumber Seeds are sent postpaid at these prices. Beanett's White Spine. COOL AND CRISP. (New.)
