One ounce will plant about 50 hills; tioo pounds to the acre. 



Culture. — Sow the seeds early in the season in a hotbed, using small sods (grass side down) or flower pots, 

 placing a few seeds in each. When all danger of frost is past, transplant into hills, which should be 4 feet apart 

 each way. For general crop, a sowing may be made in the open ground in May, in rich, mellow soil, well manured, 

 using eight or ten seeds to each hill, and when danger of insects is past, thin out to four plants to each hill. For 

 pickles, sow from the middle of June to first week in July. Pick all fruit when of proper size. 



Schultz's Evergreen 



This variety as it be- 

 comes better known 

 is driving other sorts out of the market. We predict 

 a great future for this sort. Earlier than the Im- 

 proved Arlington White Spine and a heavier cropper. 

 Truckers who desire an early Cucumber will find in 

 this new variety a money maker. It is one of the 

 most vigorous, strong and robust growers. Fruits 

 are even size, very handsome shape, measuring about 

 8 to 9 inches in length; excellent for slicing. Fine 

 for forcing or outdoors. Pkt. 5c. to 10c. , oz. 15c., 

 ]4 lb. 35c., lb. $1.00.

some garden cucumber — the most fleshy and finest in 

 flavor of the White Spine Type. The vines are of 

 strong, vigorous growth, with healthy foliage and set 

 the extra-long fruits freely throughout the season. 

 The cucumbers are uniformly smooth and regular in 

 form, averaging twelve to fourteen inches in length; 

 the skin is thin and tender, bright green in color, and 

 never turns yellow, even in fully matured fruits. 

 The flesh is very tlaick (the fruits being from two 

 to three inches in diameter, with very few seeds), 

 crisp, and exceptionally mild in flavor. Pkt. 5c. and 

 lOc, oz. 15c., M lb. 40c., lb. $1.25.

ing and pickles. A selection from the Long Green. 

 The vines are very vigorous and productive. The 

 fruit, which is about 12 inches long, is formed almost 

 as early as the short sorts. They are firm, crisp, 

 and of fine flavor. Those desiring a long, dark green 

 Cucumber will find this strain unsurpassed. Pkt. 

 5c. and 10c. , oz. 15c., M lb. 40c., lb. !i;i.25. 



Davis Perfect 



Arlington White Spine 



lersey P.CKling Cucumber 



An excellent Cucumber for both 

 outdoor use and forcing. It is a 

 carefully selected strain of the extra long White 

 Spine type, made by a veteran outdoor and green- 

 house grower of Cucumbers. Its valuable points 

 are length, slimness and its dark green color. It is a 

 very vigorous sort, and resists blight longer than most 

 long sorts. Pkt. 5c. and 10c. , oz. 15c., lb. 40c., 

 lb. $1.25. 



IClondike ^ medium early, white spined Cucum- 



ber of handsome, very dark green color 



and of excellent quality for slicing. The vines are 

 very hardy and productive. The fruits when mature 

 are about 8 inches long, and are uniform in size and 

 shape. Color dark green, slightly striped at the 

 ends. The dark green color is retained much longer 

 and is affected less by the hot sun than any other 

 sort with which we are familiar. Its uniform size 

 and shape and splendid color are making this variety 

 very popular as a shipping sort. Pkt. 5c. and 10c. , 

 oz. 15c., K lb. 35c., lb. $1.00. 



This is, without 



. exception, the 



most profitable Cucumber for truckers, and is unsur- 

 passed for the amateur. It is beyond question the 

 earliest, most shapely and productive variety of this 

 type; of a green color throughout its entire length, 

 very straight and symmetrical. The quality is fine. 

 Another strong point of merit is its shipping qualities; 

 it seems to hold its color and brittleness long after be- 

 ing cut. Pkt. 5c. and iOc, oz. 15c., }4\h. 35c., lb. $1.00.

 two to three weeks. Pkt. 5c. and lOc, 

 oz. 15c., M lb. 45c., lb. $1.50.

 any suitable support. Fine for pickHng.
