CUCUMBER. 



German, Gurke. 



(One ounce will plant 50 hills; two pounds will plant 

 one acre.) 



For very early Cucumbers sow the first of April 

 In a hot-bed, upon pieces of sod (grass side down), 

 so that they can be readily transplanted to the 

 open ground, in rich soil, when danger of frost is 

 over, or protect by hand-glasses. The vines re- 

 quire a warm location for early Cucumbers. Plant 

 after the ground has become warm, 

 in hills four feet apart for the 

 smaller varieties, and five feet for 

 the larger sorts. For Hicklinsr eow 

 frcm middle of June to last of Julv. 

 Manure with ashes, fertilizer or 

 some well-rotted compost, working 

 the manure just under the surface. 

 Sprinkle the vines with slug-shot, 

 plaster or air-slacked lime, to pro- 

 tect from bugs. The Cucumbers 

 should be gathered when large 

 -enough for use, whether required s^gHS 

 or not; if left to ripen, it destrovs s . - ^ 

 their productiveness. * ^ - 



EVER-BEARING CUCUMBERS.

 growers; dark green, firm and crisp. Superior for 

 pickles and for market.

 dark color; it is very tender and crisp. 



Pkt. 5c. Oz. lOc. 1-4 lb. 15c. Lb. 40c. 



This variety is entirely new and unique, and will 

 prove valuable both for the table and for pickling. 

 It is of small size, very early, enormously produc- 

 tive, and extremely valuable as a green pickler. 

 The peculiar merit of this new Cucumber is that 

 •the vines continue to flower and produce fruit until 

 killed by frost, whether the ripe Cucumbers are 

 picked off or not, in which respect it differs from 

 all other sorts in cultivation.

BALTIMORE WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER.— 



This is the best Cucumber for early planting, be- 

 cause it will retain its green color longer than any 

 other sort. It is of good size and shape, and the 

 popular variety with the truckers around Baltimore 

 and Norfolk, as well as the growers from Virginia 

 to Florida.

 fruits, which retain their color longer than other 

 sorts.
