CUMBERLAND 



A new and distinct variety, said to have originated from crossing the Parisian 

 Pickling and the Early White Spine. It certainly has the good qualities of each 

 of the*e sorts. The fruits are large, symmetrical, dark green, covered with 

 innumerable small white spines, and are of prime quality for slicing. The vine is 

 vigorous, wonderfully prolific, and continues in bearing much longer than most 

 sort/. Packet, 5c. Ounce, 10c. 14 pound, 25c. Pound, 85c. 



HITE WONDER 

 UCUMBER. 



The White Wonder surpasses the 

 White Pearl both in handsome ap- 

 pearance and fine quality, while 

 its strong, vigorous, extremely 

 healthy habit of growth enables 

 the vines to produce a large crop 

 of perfect fruit even under adverse 

 conditions. Its strong constitu- 

 tion is exceptional. The Cucum- 

 bers are thickly set throughout 

 the length of the vine, and are re- 

 markably uniform in color, shape 

 and size. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. V4 lb.,

CULTURE. 



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 require a warm location for 

 early Cucumbers. Plant after the ground 

 has become warm in hills 4 feet apart 

 for the smaller varieties, and 5 feet for 

 the larger sorts. For pickling sow 

 from middle of June to last of July. 

 Manure with ashes, fertilizer or some 

 well-rotted compost, working the ma- 

 nure just under the surface. Sprinkle 

 the vines with slug-shot, plaster of air- 

 slaked lime, to protect from bugs. The 

 Cucumbers should be gathered when 

 large enough for use, whether required 

 or not; if left to ripen, it destroys their 

 productiveness.
