For very early use seed may be started in heat and the plants set out in May. Pieces of inverted sod are an excellent medium for starting and growing earlyCucumber plants as they can be readily lifted from the hot-bed to the garden without disturbing the young plants growing upon them. For main crop plant in hills4 feet apart in the end of May. Leave 4 strong plants to each hill. The Cucumbers should be gathered when fit for use as if left to ripen it destroys their productiveness.For pickles plant during June and July. One ounce to 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds to an acre. Farquhars Perfection. The finest type of white Spine Cucumber in cultivation, and one of the most prohfic va-rities. The fruits are large and symmetrical in ^hape, and ofa rich dark green color, which is permanent. The flesh is purewhite, firm and crisp, with comparatively few seeds, and is un-surpassed for quality. This is an ideal forcing variety and suc-ceeds equally well when planted out of doors.
