One Ounce will plant fifty hills; two pounds will plant one acre. 



CULTURE. — For very early cucumbers, sow April 1st In a hot-bed 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 

 protected by hand-glasses. For early use, plant, if the weather has become settled and warm, in hills about 

 4 feet apart each way; thin out to four of the strongest plants to each hill, after all danger from Insects is 

 over; they succeed best in a warm, moist, rich, loamy soil; continue planting at intervals for a succession. 

 The Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use, whether required or not; if left to ripen It 

 destroys their productiveness. For pickles, plant from June until the middle part of July. 



ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER. 



NEW EVERGREEN CUCUMBER.— (See page 2 Specialty.) 



ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE.— This, is without exception, the most profitable Cucumber 

 for truckers and is unsurpassed 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 being cut. It needs no recommendation where 

 known, and a trial order will convince you of the truth of this statement. Packet, Sc.; oz., lOc; 

 ^ lb., 25c.; lb., 85c. 



THE DAVIS PERFECT 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 greenhouse 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, loc. ; 

 oz., 20C.; ^ lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00. rr i O il 



IMPROVED LONG GREEN.— Selected Stock. One of the Best for slicing 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.; oz., IOC. ; % lb., 25c.; lb., 850. 



IMPROVED JERSEY PICKLE.— This famous sort makes splendid vinegar pickles on ac- 

 count of its color, making what picklemen call ''light" pickle. It is more prolific than White 

 Spine. New land', turned-over pasture makes the nicest pickle. I have extra selected seed. 

 Packet, 5c. ; oz., loc. ; ^ lb., 25c.; lb., 85c. 



IMPROVED EARLY WHITE SPINE.— In the large trucking districts this sort is grown 

 more largely for shipping than all others. The Cucumbers grow to medium size, very prolific, 

 and are excellent for table and for pickling. Packet, 5c. ; oz., loc. ; lb., 25c. ; lb., 85c. 



SMALL GHERKIN. — A very small, oval, prickly variety, quite distinct from all others and 

 grown exclusively for Pickles. The seed is slow to germinate, requiring usually from two to 

 three weeks. Price, packet, 5c. and lOc; oz., 15c.; J4 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.25. 



Large German Corn Salad. 



Stecksalat, Ger. (Fetticus) 



CULTURE. — Sow in spring in drills 1 foot apart; it will mature 

 In six to eight weeks. For winter and early spring use, sow in drills

This small salad is used' during the winter and spring 

 months as a substitute for lettuce, and is also cooked and 

 used like spinach. Packet, 5c.; oz., lOc; ^ lb., 15c.; lb., 35c.
