New Klondike Cucumber 



A PAGE OF THE BEST CUCUMBERS 



Culture. — For gen. -al crop, sow in the open ground as soon as the weather is sufficiently settled. Plant in hills 4 feet apart each 

 way, putting a shovelful of well-rotted manure in each hill. For pickles, sow from the middle of June to the first week in July. If wanted 

 very early in the season, sow two or three seeds in a 4-inch pot and transplant these to the open ground when all danger of frost is over. 



One ounce ol seed will plant about 50 Mils; two pounds will plant an acre 



New Klondike. 



A Grand Market Sort. This is a hybrid sort of the White Spine type which holds its attractive dark green 

 color longer than most other sorts. When of suitable size for shipping it averages from 6 to 7 inches long, the 

 ends are quite square and it is about 2 inches thick. The quality is unsurpassed. Wherever it is sold to market-gardeneis it has become 

 their main crop, and the demand for it is growing rapidly. Its points of superiority are — extreme earliness, a prolific bearer, very hardv, 

 producing fair crops under such unfavorable conditions as cause many other sorts to fail, very dark green and holding its attractive color 

 and crispness for a long time, size just right for a slicing Cucumber. It is also quite firm when small, making an excellent pickling sort.

New Davis Perfect. '^^^ Davis Perfect Cucumber resembles a hothouse Cucumber so closely that dealers cannot tell the differ- 



ence, it being equally good for hothouse or outdoor culture. It is ideal in shape, rich, dark green color, 



uniform and regular in size. It is exceedingly tender, and as a slicing Cucumber for the table is unsurpassed. It is almost seedless one- 

 third of its length from the stem end, and the seeds that are contained in it, when in slicing condition, are so small and tender that they are 

 almost unnoticed. Exceedingly productive. Pkt. loc, oz. 20c., K'b. 40c., lb. Si. 50, postpaid; by express, lb. jji.40, 5 lbs. S6.25, 10 lbs. $12.

 blossom end. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 50 cts., K'b. $1.40, lb. {5.
