Literature On cucumbers.-A reader esks what books or business I can rec ommend on the subject of cucumber growing. I know of no book or special treatise on cucumbers. All the modern books on general gardening, however, give more or less detailed information on cucumber culture, and I believe the Cornell University Experiment Station. at Ithaca, N, r., some years ago issued bulletin treating on the forceing of melons and cucumbers under glass There may also have been issued a bull letin on the pickle industry in this state ten or more years ago by the state sta tion at Geneva.
