CUCUMBERS 



(@ur!e) 



One ounce will plant about 50 hills; two jjounds 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 raay be made in the open ground in Alay, 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 ArUngton 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, verj- handsome shape, measuring about 

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

 for forcing or outdoors. Pkt. 5c. and lOc, oz. 15c., 

 li lb. 25c., lb. 75c. 



Klondike 



A 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., yi lb. 25c., lb. 75c. 



Arlington White Spine 



most profitable Cucumber for truckers, and is unstu-- 

 passed for the amateur. It is beyond question the 

 earliest, most shapely and productive variety of this 

 tjTDe; of a green color throughout its entire length, 

 very straight and sjTnmetrical. 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 10c. , oz. 15c. , M lb. 20c., lb. 60c. 



Davis Perfect. An excellent Cucumber for both out- 

 door 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 \dgorous sort, and resists 

 blight longer than most long sorts. Pkt. 5c. and 

 10c. , oz. 15c., K lb. 20c., lb. 60c. 



Improved Long Green. Selected stock. One of the 

 best for slicing and pickles. A selection from the 

 Long Green. The ^dnes are very ^-igorous and pro- 

 ductive. 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 Cuctnnber T^nll find this strain unsur- 



Jersey Pickling Cucumber 



Jersey Pickling. This famous sort makes splendid 

 %anegar pickles on account 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. Pkt. 5c. and lOc, oz. 15c., 

 1^ lb. 20c., lb. 60c.

 quite distinct from all others and grown exclusively
