SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



CUCUMBERS 



Klondike. 



Davis Perfect. 



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.
