CUCUMEERS 
1 oz. to 100 hills or 100 ft. row; 2 lbs. per acre 
Plant 8 to 10 seeds in each hill, hills 4 ft. apart. 
When seedlings become well established, thin to 4 plants 
per hill. 
Another method is to sow seed in rows, thinning 
plants to stand 12 in. apart in the row. For pickles, 
plant from first of June to first of August. 
A&C—(68 days) A leading market and shipping variety. 
9 to 11 inches long by 244 inch diameter, blunt at both 
ends, very dark. 
GERKINS OR BURR—(60 days) Very small, quite 
distinct from all others, grown exclusively for pickling, 
and should be picked when young and tender. 
HYBRID EARLY SURECROP—(58 days) Very dark 
green, disease resistant, shaped similar to A&C or Cubit. 
Yield and ability to produce over a long period makes 
it especially desirable. 
JAPANESE CLIMBING—(70 days) Vines are extra 
strong, vigorous; being a climbing sort, can be grown 
on trellises, ete.; valuable in small gardens. Very pro- 
lific. Fruit 2 in. by 7 in. of fair quality. 
LONG GREEN (IMPROVED)—(67 days) Under fa- 
vorable conditions, produces fruit averaging from 10 to 
12 inches in length. Skin is a deep rich green, flesh 
solid, crisp and of excellent quality. 
LONGFELLOW STRAIGHT PACK—(70 days) This 
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 are adaptable for pack- 
ing in flats for the very highest class trade. 
MARKETER—(65 days) Vines very vigorous and pro- 
lific; fruits very dark green, slightly tapered at ends. 
Notably uniform and attractive. 
SANTEE is a cucumber introduction from a series by 
Dr. W. C. Barnes at Charleston, South Carolina, bred 
for Downy Mildew resistance, and intended for spring 
plantings where this disease is prevalent. Santee is very 
productive, and the vigorous vines produce well shaped 
fruits, approximately 8 inches long and 2% inches in 
diameter, with a good dark green color. 
STRAIGHT 8—(66 days) Symmetrical fruits, well 
rounded at both ends. Regularly eight inches in length 
and from 134 to 2 inches in diameter. Deep green and 
free from pale striping and tipping. Vines are vigorous 
and remarkably productive.
