R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



Farquhar's Perfection Forcing Cucumber. 



CUCUMBER. Gurken, ^Gek.) Pepino, (Sp.) 

 For very early xise, seed may be started in heat and the plants set out in May. Pieces of in- 

 verted sod are an excellent medium for starting and growing early Cucumber plants, as they can be 

 readily lifted from the hot-bed to the garden without disturbing the young plants growing upon 

 them. For main crop, plant in hills 4 feet apart, in the end of May. Leave 4 strong plants to 

 each hill. The Cucumbers should be gathered when fit for use, as if left to ripen it destroys their 

 productiveness. For pickles, plant during June and July. One ounce to 50 hills; 2 <o 3 pounds to 

 an acre. 



Farquhar's Perfection Forcing. The finest type of white Splne cucumber in culti- 

 vation, and one of the most prolific varieties. The fruits are large and symmetrical in shape, 

 and of a rich dark green color, which is permanent. The flesh is pure white, firm and crisp, 

 with comparatively few seeds, and is unsurpassed for quality. This is an ideal forcing variety 

 and succeeds equally well when planted out of doors. Pkt., .25; J oz., .35; oz., 1.00; ^ lb., 3.00
