JAPANESE CLIMBING CUCUMBER.-A11 Cucumbers are of trailing or

 green color. The flesh is pure white, and never bitter. PKts. 5c and 10c,

CULTURE.— For very early Cucumbers, sow first of April in hot bed, 

 upon pieces of sod (grass-side down), so that they can be readily 

 transplanted to open ground, in rich soil, when danger of frost is over, 

 or protect by hand glasses. For early use, plant if weather has become 

 settled and warm, in hills about i feet apart each way; thin out to i of 



the strongest plants to each hill after all danger from insects is over. 

 For pickles, plant from June until the middle of July.
