Maule's Cucumbers 



Culture — Flourish best in a rich, warm, sandy loam. Sow when danger of frost is 

 over, m hills 4 or 5 feet each way. As the young plant has many enemies sow thickly 

 half an mch deep, and thm out finally to three or four plants to the hill. For piokles 

 plant during June and July. Use a packet of seed to 15 hills; an ounce to 75 hilfs; two 

 to three pounds to the acre. Ready to use in 50 to 80 days. Gather cucumbers by cutting, 

 not tearing. Leave none to ripen on the vines if you want a full crop.

 very firm. When ready for slicing they are G to 7 inches 

 long, crisp and of a most delicious flavor. The vines are 

 of extra vigorous growth and produce an abundance of 

 fruits, which are fit for the table or market in o5 days. 



Its extreme earliness is, however, its greatest recom- 

 mendation, making it invaluable. Its earlii:iess and its 

 very high quality make it a good variety for both home 

 and market gardens.
