CUCUMBER, GERWAN. GURKE. 



(One ounce will plant 50 hills; two lbs. 

 will plant one acre. ) 

 For very early Cucumbers sow the first of 

 April in a hot-bed, upon pieces of mil (grass 

 ■siile down), so that they can be readily trans- 

 planted to the open ground, in rich soil, when 

 danger of fro.st is over, or protect by hand- 

 Ula'scs. The vines require a warm locati"ii 

 for early Cucumbers. Plant after the "iiiid 

 has become warm, in hills four feet apart ten- 

 the smaller varieties, and live feet for tlie 

 larger sorts. 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-slacked 

 lime, to protect from bugs. The Cucumbers 

 should he gathered when large enough for use, 

 whether required or not; if left to ripen, it de- 

 stroys their productiveness.

The White Wonder surpasses the White Pearl both in handsome appearance and fine quality, while its strong, 

 vigorous, extremely healthy habit of growth enables the vines to produce a large crop of perfect fruit, even 

 under adver.se conditions. Its strong constitution is exceptional. The Cucumbers are thickly set throughout 

 the length of the vine, and are remarkably uniform in color, shape and size.
