HIGH QUALITY VEGETABLE SEEDS 



CUCUMBER 



Gurken, Ger. 



One Ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 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.

Klondike ^ mec ^ um early, white spined Cucumber 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 eight 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 is making this variety very popular as a shipping sort. Pkt., 5c; oz., ioc; Ya lb., 25c; 

 lb., 75C 



AvliTio-trm WVii+a ^rnnA ^ llis is ' w ^ tnout exception, the most profitable Cucumber for truckers 

 iinmgTon wmxe opine an( j - s 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 ship- 

 ping qualities; it seems to hold its color and brittleness long after being cut. It nee^s no recom- 

 mendation where known, and a trial order will convince you of the truth of this statement
