Burpee as I do, I said to myself, 'This 

 is a combination that is going to be 

 difficult to beat even in America.' Mr, 

 Earl does not go round a seed farm 

 making copious notes, as many do. His 

 eyes seem to be everywhere. He finds 

 something that impresses him, he asks 

 a few pointed questions, and out fomes 

 a tiny notebook and a few jottings ara 

 made; the book is returned to Mr. 

 Earl 's vest pocket, and he goes on 

 smoking his cigar and watching things 

 and people. Mrs. Earl told me her 

 husband had been doing too much re- 

 cently, and was invalided this last 

 spring. I asked Earl forthwith if that 

 was true. He smiled and looked through 

 me with his keen eyes. I was not to 

 be done. I said in presence of his wife, 

 'What hours do you work?' His reply 

 was, 'Any man who wants me can 

 find me at business from 7 a. m. till 

 7 p. m. every day.' That explains a 

 lot. We have something to learn from 

 our American friends, but I think we 

 can teach them something, too ! ' '

Please give me a little information 

 on the growing of cucumbers in winter. 

 I should like to have you speak of the 

 following points: The best varieties, 

 the distance between the rows, the dis- 

 tance between the hills, the question of 

 raised or solid benches, the time to 

 plant for a, Chtistmas crop/ how to 

 poUenize, the soil and the quantity of 

 manure, the number of plants to each 

 hill, and the average crop per hill in 

 midwinter. I am quite sure there are 

 many who would be benefited by an 

 explanation of the foregoing points, 

 with any other information you may 

 give on the subject. I have one house, 

 25 X 150, with raised benches, which we

I would )say that the time to plant 

 the seed for a Christmas crop would be 

 about October 1. Though they would 

 commence to bear a little before Christ- 

 mas, they would not be bearing heavily 

 until that time. 



Raised beds are not required; nearly 

 all growers use solid ground beds. They 

 are planted in rows, about one row to 

 a 4-foot bed or two rows to a 7-foot or
