Wyatt'Quarles CULTURE: A warm season crop that will not withstand the frosts. May be grown on a wide range of soil, but a sandy loam with pH 5.5-6.5 is preferred. Make first planting after last frost in spring and a second planting 3 to 4 weeks later. Fertilize with 800 lbs. of 8-8-8 per acre (3 qts. per 100 ft. of row) 7-10 days before planting. Plant in rows 5 feet apart and drill seed so that a final stand of one plant every 12-14 inches is obtained. Cultivate shallow and early to keep weeds down. Sidedress with 15 lbs. of nitrogen (1/2 cup of Nitrate of Soda, or equivalent, per 100 ft. row) when plants are 6 inches tall. Two pounds of seed will plant one acre; V2 oz. per 100 ft of row. To reduce disease, seeds should be wet treated with mercuric chloride. Do not plant after other vine crops like water- melons, squash, cucumbers or cantaloupes. ;80 Cucumber, Early Green Cluster 707 AcKlou early downy mildew MSniey resistant variety which has color equal to any other slicing variety.
