CUCUMBERS 



1 Oz. Will Plant 50 Hills. 2 libs. Will Plant an Acre. 



For very 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. The vines 

 require a warm location for early Cucumbers. Plant after the ground has become warm in hills 4 feet apart for the smaller 

 varieties, and 5 feet for the larger sort. For pickling sow from middle of June to last of July. Manure with wood ashes, 

 fertilizer or some well-rotted compost, working the manure just under the surface. Sprinkle the vines with slug-shot plaster, 

 or air-slaked lime to protect from bugs. The Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use, whether required 

 or not; if left to ripen, it destroys their productiveness. 



Early Green Prolific 



A very productive variety, having fruits of good length 

 and handsome form. Desirable for producing pickles of me- 

 dium size and fine quality when sliced for the table. 



Ever-Bearing Cucumber 



This variety is unique, and will prove valuable both for 

 the table and for pickling. Is of small size, very early, 

 enormously productive 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 oft or not, 

 in which respect it differs from all other sorts in cultivation. 



IMPROVED BAZ.TIMOBI: WHITE SPINE 



This is the best Cucumber for early planting, because it will 

 retain its green color longer than any other sort. It is of 

 good size and shape, and the popular variety with truckers 

 around Baltimore and Norfolk, as well as the growers from 

 Virginia to Florida. 



EARLY FORTUITE CUCXTKBER 



One of the earliest and best dark green White Spine Cu- 

 cumbers. Extremely early, and beautiful shape. Good for 

 market gardeners, truckers or private family; in fact, any 

 one who likes a dark green, white spine cucumber it cannot 

 help but please. Fine for Southern growers, as it stands 

 shipping remarkably well. 



IMPROVED ZiONG- GREEN CUCUMBER 



The skin is of a deep green, and the flesh is solid, crisp and 

 of fine quality. We have the very best strains of this variety 

 and recommend it as much the best cucumber of all, and the 

 variety every one should want. The best known and most 

 popular variety for general use. Is vigorous and productive 

 and forms fruit fit for use as early as the shorter varieties- 

 The mature fruit is almost 12 inches long. 



BURR, OR WEST INDIA GHERKIN 



An extremely small fruited variety, grown exclusively for 

 pickles. It has no value for slicing. Is very prickly, but 

 tender and crisp if pickled when young. Seed germinates 

 slowly. 



Early Cluster 



A short prickly variety, bearing in clusters near the root. 

 A good bearer. 



Jersey Pickling 



This is the most popular sort with the market gardeners 

 around Baltimore and Philadelphia for pickling. Said to 

 green better than any other variety. 



TM niVr °' Best Salads for Fall and Winter Use. 



CINL^I V t Ounce of Seed to 150 Peet of Row. 



For early use, sow as soon as the ground can be worked in 

 the spring, in drills 15 inches apart, and then thin plants to 

 6 or 8 inches in row. To blanch the leaves, gather them care- 

 fully together when perfectly dry and tie them with soft 

 fibrous material.
