CORN. 



This is the sweetest and most deliciously flavored 

 of all Sugar Corn. It is the finest variety for the 

 table, and will delight the most fastidious epicure. 

 It produces three to four ears to the stalk, and re- 

 tains its greenness longer than other sorts.

M CUCUMBER. K 



German, Gnrke. 



(One ounce will plant 50 hills; two pounds will plant 

 one acre.) 



For very early Cucumbers, sow the first of April 

 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 protect by hand-glasses. The vines re- 

 quire a warm location for early Cucumbers. Plant 

 after the gx-ound has become warm, in 

 hills four feet apart for the smaller 

 varieties, and five feet for the larger 

 sorts. For pickling sow from middle 

 of June to last of July, Manure with 

 ashes, fertilizer or some wel! -rotted 

 compost, working the manure just un- 

 der the surface. Sprinkle the vines 

 with slug-shot, plaster or air-slacked 

 lime, to protect from bugs. The Cu- 

 cumbers should be gathered when large 

 enough for use, whether required or 

 not; if left to ripen, it destroj s their 

 productiveness. 



LONG GREEjV,— Has long been a favorite with 

 growers; dark green, firm and crisp. Superior for 

 pickles and for market.

EVER-BEflRINQ CUQUHBERS 



This variety is entirely new and unique, and will 

 prove valuable both for the table and for pickling. 

 It is of small size, very early, enormously produc- 

 tive, and extremely valuable as a green pickler. 

 The peculiar merit of this new Cucumber is that 

 the vines continue to fiower and produce fruit until 

 killed by frost, whether the ripe Cucumbers are 

 picked off or not, in which respect it differs from 

 all other sorts in cultivation.

 more and Norfolk, as well as the growers from Vir- 

 ginia to Florida.
