 and July. Use" a packet of seed to 15 hills; an ounce to 75 hills ; two to three pounds to the acre. Ready to use in 50 to 80 days. Gather cucum- 

 bers by cutting, not tearing. Leave none to ripen if you want a full crop. Use Bordo Lead, Key-Cide, Bug Death or Slug Shot to keep down bugs.

Davis Perfect Cucumber 



Plant the Davis Perfect, and you will raise cucumbers in the open ground that will 

 equal in flavor and resemble the high priced hot house forcing sorts 



The Davis Perfect has become the most popular cucumber 

 both for forcing under glass aud growing outside, for the 

 following reasons : 



First. It has an ideal shape, and the handsomest dark 

 green color of all cucumbers. Ready to pull in 55 days. 



Second. It is a type of the most perfect size; just what is 

 wanted either for the table or market. 



Third. Eating qualities surpass any other cucumber. 



Fourth. It IS almost seedless one-third of its length from 

 the stem end, and the seeds when it is in slicing condition 

 are so small aud tender that they are unnoticed. 



Fifth. It is enormously productive, in fact, beats anything 

 we have ever tried. 



Sixth. It does not change its dark, rich color when grown 

 outdoors; in fact, it resembles a hothouse cucumber so closely 

 that dealers cannot tell the difTerence, and are willing to pay 

 as much for it as the hothouse production. We believe this 

 is the greatest cucumber ever introduced, and it is bound to 

 become popular everywhere when it is known. It will be a 

 big money maker for anyone engaged in growing cucumbers 

 in the open ground. The Davis Perfect has had the greatest 

 sale any cucumber novelty has ever had and every grower, 

 whether for home consumption or for naarket, to be abreast 

 of the times, should plant this variety. 



Packet, lO cents; ounce, 20 cents; queirter pound, 45 cents; pound, $1.50, postpaid.
