CUCUMBER 



In aU of its various stages of development the cucumber 

 finds a place on our tables. Either raw or pickled it serves as an 

 ingredient for salads and constitutes a tasty relish by itself. 

 A fine crop may be easily grown wherever an openly exposed 

 location of fau-ly rich soil is available. Planting should be de- 

 layed imtil all danger of frost is past. Soil for planting should be 

 warm, fairly moist and loose. Seed must be covered about J^ 

 inch deep. Plant in hills 3 by 5 feet apart dropping 6 or 8 seeds 

 to each hiU. When 6 inches tall, thin to 3 in a hill. 



CHICAGO PICKLING Popular for many years owing to its 

 excellent pickling quahties and high yield. In 50 to 52 days 

 it reaches proper size for pickhng, 23^ to 5 mches. It is 

 cylindrical with moderately tapered ends, black spined 

 and dark green in color. The flesh is thick, firm, white and 

 crisp. 

 Pkt. 10c; 02. 20c; Vi lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



EARLY FORTUNE We offer a superior strain of this early 

 slicing cucumber. It is available for use in about 58 days 

 after planting. The large, straight, white spined fi-uits are 

 borne upon a strong, productive and hardy vine. For 

 slicing the flesh is firm, very tasty, tender and of excellent 

 quahty. When fully developed the fruits are 8 to 9 inches 

 long, cylindrical and of a deep green color.

 table use and especially well adapted to home growing.

 fruits in 57 days. The cucumbers are white spined, cylin- 

 drical, medium green and have a firm, crisp flesh of excellent 

 quality. One of the most productive and surest yielding 

 varieties in cultivation.

IMPROVED LONG GREEN For many years we have given 

 this variety especial attention and have been able to offer 

 a strain that is in a class by itself. Bred for large size, 

 cylindrical shape and soHd, crisp flesh, it is probably the 

 most extensively grown of home garden varieties. The 

 fruits are of good slicing size when half grown and retain 

 their excellent quality until they are 12 to 14 inches long. 

 The young fruits are ideal for chunk pickles and the large 

 ripe fruits are much prized for sweet pickles. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 1/4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50. 



KLONDIKE A medium early cucumber of handsome, very 

 dark green color and excellent quality for slicing. The 

 young fruits are of fine shape for small pickles and the 

 older fruits remain in good slicing condition until 7 or 8 

 inches long. The dark green color is retained for a long 

 time after picking and the fruits remain crisp and succulent. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



LEMON A novel type of cucumber which does not have the 

 popularity that its quality merits. The fruits are nearly 

 round, slightly ribbed without pronounced spining, and 

 yellow in color. In size and shape they closely resemble 

 the true lemon from which the name is borrowed. It is 

 early and extremely prolific. The flesh is snow white, crisp, 

 mildly flavored, and makes dehcious pickles at all sizes. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 70c; lb. $2.00. 



SNOW'S PICKLING This is grown almost exclusively for 

 pickling and is ideal for that purpose. It produces fruits of 

 pickling size in 47 to 50 days and is the earhest of the 

 varieties in common use. The fruits are blocky and regular 

 in shape and are medium dark green with delicate pale 

 green flesh.
