CUCUMBER GERMAN, GURKE 



CULTURE 



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 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. 



IMPROVED BALTIMORE 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
