[16] J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 
CUCUMBERS 
1 ounce to 100 hills. 
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. 
Klondike A favorite with market gardeners and shippers all over the country. The 
handsome dark green cucumbers average 7 inches long and 2 inches in 
diameter. 
One of the best of the very desirable ‘White Spine” type. It was 
Early Fortune selected out of a field of Davis Perfect by reason of its outstanding 
qualities and the strain has now become so well established that large plantings do not 
show any variation either in plant or fruit. Early, very productive, and having unusual 
disease-resisting ability. Fruits are 8 inches long with very dark green skin and thick, 
firm flesh which is crisp and tender. Excellent shipper.

ditions, produces fruit averaging from 12 to 16 
inches in length. Skin is a deep rich green, flesh solid, crisp and of excellent quality. 
Japanese Climbing Vines are extra strong, vigorous; being a climbing sort, can 
be grown on trellises, etc.; valuable in small gardens. Very 
prolific, from 40 to 50 having been counted on single plants. Fruit long, round, of fine 
flavor. 
Longfellow or Straight Pack This new variety was developed primarily 
for greenhouse culture; its quality, size and 
attractive appearance, however, have definitely established it as one of the best for out- 
— door production. The beautiful dark green cucumbers average 12 inches in length and 
Klondike are adaptable for packing in flats for the very highest class trade. 
Davis’ Perfect As now selected, this popular new Gherkins or Burr Very small, quite distinct from

long, even fruits are of fine form, with an intensely dark sively for pickling, and should be picked when young and
