This special re-print edition of James McPhail's book "A Treatise on the Culture of the Cucumber" covers the basics of how to grow cucumbers. Written in England in 1795, this is one of the earliest books on the subject and is surprisingly complete. Every major aspect of growing cucumbers is covered. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
