CUCUMBERS 
CULTURE.—Flourish best in a rich, warm, sandy loam. Sow when danger of frost is over, 
in hills 4 or5 feet each way. As the young plant has many enemies sow thickly half an inch 
deep, and thin out finally to three or four plants to the hill. Use one ounce of seed to 75 hills; 
two to three pounds to the acre. Gather cucumbers (by cutting, not tearing). Leave none to 
ripen if you want a full crop. Use Buhach, Bug Death or slug shot to keep down bugs. 
SSIS 
MAULE’S EXTRA EARLY CUCUMBER. 
i Maule’s Extra Early Cucumber 
First for the Table, Market and Pickling. 
This widely popular cucumber is a cross between Harly Russian and Green 
Prolific. It has become a general favorite. It has the earliness of one parent and 
the high quality and remarkable prolificness of the other. It always grows uni- 
formly, and is seldom too large for pickling. The vines are of extra vigorous 
growth, with leaves of a dark green color, and produce an abundance of fruits. 
Its extreme earliness is, however, its greatest recommendation, making it inval- 
uable. Its earliness and its very high quality make it a good variety for both 
home and market gardens. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; } pound, 40 cents: pound, $1.50. 
THAVE “rexnsyivania 79,430 CUSTOMERS 
No other seed house in this country has anywhere like this number of customers in Pennsylvania, 
and I doubt if there is in Philadelphia a house in any line of business with so many separate 
customers registered in their order books. Of the above number, possibly not over 5000 have ever 
been in my store, the balance send me their orders by mail. This little note is an invitation to all my 
customers, when in Philadelphia, to visit my retail stores at 1707, 1709 and 1711 Filbert Street. 
I have fitted up the second floor as a salesroom, 60 by 120 feet, which I think for light and general 
facilities, equals that of any seed salesroom in the country. I will be very glad indeed to have any 
of my customers drop in any time they are in Philadelphia and look us over,

FAMOUS CUCUMBER 
This new extra long White Spine cucum- } 
ber produces perfectly smooth, very dark 
green, handsome straight fruit, measuring 
12 to 17 inches long. They are always solid, 
flesh being a greenish white, firm, crisp and 
of most delicious flavor. It is a great crop- 
per and fruit is full of flesh with but few 
seeds. At Panmure, where I had more than 
two acres of Kordhook Famous, it excited 
the admiration of all visitors, fruit being 
of such a beautiful green, and so long and 
symmetrical. Packet, 10 cts.; oumce, 
15 cts.3 4 pound, 40 cts., pound, $1.50.
