 fruit is desired. Our carefully selected strain, under favor- 

 able conditions, produces fruits averaging from twelve to

\/Early Cyclone.— It is not only the earliest Cucumber 

 in cultivation, being fully two weeks ahead of White Spine, but it 

 is of the desirable White Spine type, being shorter, thicker and 

 holding better its deep green color than any other early Cucumber 

 in cultivation. It is very prolific and grows its fruit in bunches of 

 threes and fours, of uniform size and shape. A single hill will 

 sometimes produce from ten to twelve shapely Cucumbers. Pkt.,

Plant, as soon as the weather becomes settled, in hills four feet 

 apart each way, with eight or ten 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 three or four 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, 

 as, if left to ripen on the vines, it destroys their productive uses.

 foftned; one of the best for early market. Pkt., 5c; % lb.,

 cept at the stem end. It makes a very fine quality of pickles,
