LONG GREEN CUCUMBER PICKLES. 



Cucumber 



One ounce to 50 hills. 



Culture. For early cucumbers sow the first of April in 

 a hotbed 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. 

 For early use, plant, if the weather has become settled and 

 warm, in hills about 4 feet apart each way; thin out to 4 

 of the strongest plants to each hill after all danger from 

 insects is over; they succeed best in warm, moist, rich, 

 loamy soil; continue planting at intervals for a succession. 

 The cucumber should be gathered when large enough for 

 use, whether required or not; if left to ripen it destroys 

 the productiveness. For pickles, plant from June until 

 the middle of July. 



Bolgiano's Early Fortune Cucumber. Early Fortune 

 is the earliest — best Cucumber for table, market or 

 shipping purposes. It is the greatest producer of all 

 varieties, and at all stages of its growth it is a 

 model in shape, being verj- handsome and most attrac- 

 tiv.e. In color Early Fortune is a rich, attractive 

 deep green. This inviting color it retains during a 

 much longer period of growth than any other variety, 

 it is so regular in form, one so much like the other, 

 glowers marvel at the purity and trueness of our 

 stock. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 lb., 25 cts.; 

 lb., 75 cts. 



Davis Perfect. Davis Perfect Cucumber resembles 

 a hot-house Cucumber so closely that it is difRciilt 

 for some dealers to tell the diflference. Equally good 

 for hot-house or outdoor culture. It is ideal in shape, 

 rich, dark green color, uniform and regular in size.

 famous cucumber is by far the best type on this or 

 any other market. Dark, rich, green color and hold- 

 ing its color long after other sorts have gone yellow

 stock of Arlington White Spine is sure to make trade
