Four perfect Cucumbers growing on one stem is 

 certainly a novelty. Our strain runs reEiiaikably even 

 in size and form. Seeds ready for del-very.

RAWSON'S HOTHOUSE 

 CUCUMBER 



As a forcing Cucumber is one of the largest and most 

 profitable crops of the Market Gardener, it is essential 

 that the very Dest possible strain stiould be sown. 

 With this idea in view we have made selections for the 

 past few years from our Kawson's White Spine, which 

 nave resulted in a strain about two inches longer and 

 a dirker green in color, with a few light spines showing 

 at blossom end. Tui* new atrHin we confidently 

 believe to be superior to any other on the market. 

 The results we have had at our own greenhouses with 

 the stock conclusively prove the above to be true. W 

 oz., 35c; oz., 60c; 4 oz., 11.50; lb., $5.00. 



Bawson's White Spine Cucumber, 4 oz., tl.50; 

 lb., $4.00. Send for Market Gardeners' 

 catalogue, listing many special strains of 

 ^Kadish, Lettuce, etc., for use under glass.

into the corners of the box and around 

 the edg«7s; then smooth it j)erfoctly and 

 press it down lightly with a scjuare board 

 not much lower than the edge of the box. 

 The seed should be covered thinly and 

 watered very carefully. Keip the soil 

 just moist; if overwatercd, th*' entire lot 

 may damp off and be lost. 



The tiny plants should be transplanted, 

 when only a few days old, into other 

 boxes, putting the plants about an inch 

 or an inch and a half apart. There 

 they will make nice, bushy plants by the 

 time they are needed. Give the plants 

 plenty of fresh air and do not let them 

 run too warm. A temperature of 45 

 degrees at night and 55 to 00 degrees in 

 the daytime will make a nice, healthy 

 growth, better able to stand the diseases 

 Ui which lettuce is subj.^ct. Watering 

 shouhl be light atid oarly in the day. 

 Great care shotild be taken to prepare 

 a light, sandy soil, enriched with well 

 rotted nlallur^^ If the hcn.dics have
