HIGH QUALITY VEGETABLE SEEDS 



CUCUMBER-Gurke 



One ounce to fifty liills. One to two pounds to an acre. 



CULTURE. — For growth of Cucumbers, hills are raised, standing five feet apart. Quite rich sandy soil is best 

 If necessary, enrich the hills with a mixture of sandy soil and strong rotted manure. For early use, plant in May ; 

 for pickling, plant in June or July. Eight or ten seeds 

 .should be allowed to each hill, as the young plants are 

 often destroyed by bugs. 



Soon as the plants attain vigor, thin them, leaving 

 the three most promising. If practicable, water during the 

 drought; keep soil loose and free from weeds. 



IMPROVED EARLY WHITE SPINE, or ARLING- 

 TON. — A selection from the White Spine, being more 

 pointed at each end. The young fruits are usually crisp

Sow in March in hotbed, and transplant when two inches high into a second hotbed, or let them remain and 

 thin out to four inches apart. When the weather becomes settled transplant into the open ground three feet apart 

 each way. Good culture is quite as important as good seed; work the ground deep; make it rich with well-rotted 

 manure, and hoe often.
