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.

 disease-resisting ability. Fruits are 8 inches long with very dark green skin and thick, 

 firm flesh which is crisp and tender. Excellent shipper.

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 

 are adaptable for packing in flats for the very highest class trade.

As now selected, this popular new 

 variety is well worthy of praise. The 

 long, even fruits are of fine form, with an intensely dark 

 rich green skin. With very few seeds, the solid white flesh 

 is of superb quality for slicing. The vines are of strong 

 growth and quite prolific.
