CULTURE.—Plant as soon as the weather becomes settled in hills 4 feet apart each 
way, with 8 or 10 seeds in each hill, cover half an inch deep, smoothing the hill off with 
the hoe. Keep the soil well stirred, and when the plants are out of danger of insects, 
leave 3 or 4 plants to the hill. For pickles, plant from the first of June to the first of 
August. The fruit should be gathered when large enough, whether required for use or 
not, for if left to ripen on the vines, it destroys their productive uses. 
New Dark Evergreen Retains its very dark green color for an exceptionally 
: long period. Very prolific, of medium size, a wonderful 
shipper and a profitable market garden variety, as it is one of the very earliest of its type. 
, A favorite with market gardeners and shippers all over the country.

firm flesh which is crisp and tender. Excellent shipper.
