SUPER-STANDARD STRAINS 



Windermoor Wonder 



A very handsome emerald-green variety. The fruits 



Days to maturity, 65. Our Company had the honor of introducing this Cucumber in 1917. Since then 

 it has been taken up by a great many seedsmen and offered under a great variety of names. One seedhouse 

 in Missouri actually had the temerity not only to rename it but to deliberately lift our colored illustration. 

 Windermoor Wonder was developed by Mr. J. V. Sheape, of Jackson County, Michigan, by crossing the 

 English Telegraph with the Davis Perfect, the result being a combination of the important features of each. 



Early Fortune 



Days to maturity, 60. We offer this as one of the most satisfactory strains of the well-known 

 White-Spine types. Its outstanding features are its rich green color and its uniform length, which 

 averages 8 to 9 inches. In shape it tapers slightly at the ends. Southern growers of Cucumbers can 

 place great confidence in this stock of Early Fortune which has made a good record for itself wherever 

 grown. It has many excellent points, but of all of them we consider its dark green color the most 

 important. Our stock of Early Fortune is the equal of any available at any price. Price, delivered: 

 Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V 4 lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.25; 5 lbs. or more, $1.15 per lb. 



Windermoor Wonder 



FORCING TYPE 



Days to maturity, 65. This strain will be found 

 very valuable for forcing under glass. It is a selection 

 which has been developed for purity of type, straight 

 fruits, and rich, dark green color. We would point out 

 that only Cucumbers of the White-Spine type are 

 desirable for greenhouse propagation. This strain 

 will be found dependable from every point of view. 



It is difficult to try to grow Cucumbers in the 

 greenhouse without supplying some means of 

 artificial fertilization. We recommend a hive of 

 honey-bees for every 200 lineal feet. Place this hive 

 on the outside of the house so that it fronts on an 

 open pane of glass. If your house is over 200 feet 

 long, we would advise having a hive near each end, 

 on opposite sides of the house. Price, delivered: 

 Pkt. 50 cts.; oz. $2; l/ 4 lb. $7.50. 



For Success on the Roadside 



Gather your vegetables so they will be fresh for the 

 buyer. Retain their flavor. 



Advertise your market by mailed notices to your regular 

 buyers. 



Make attractive plantings around the market. 

 Keep it clean and fresh at all times. 



And lastly, as far as possible, hold to pure Anglo-Saxon 

 speech. "Eats," "hot-dogs" and "creemee" candy may 

 attract a low-grade type of tourist, but they are not the 

 sort of people who will support a worth-while farmer's 

 roadside market.
