 plant has many enemies sow thickly half an inch deep, and thin out finally to three or four plants to the hill. For pickles plant during June 

 and July. Use a packet of seed to 15 hills; an ounce of seed to 75 hills ; two to three pounds to the acre. Gather cucumbers by cutting, not 

 tearing. Leave none to ripen if you want a full crop. Use Red Wing, Bug Death or Slug Shot to keep down bugs.

Davis Perfect Cucumber 



Plant the Davis Perfect, and you will raise cucumbers in the open ground that will 

 equal in flavor and resemble the high priced hot house forcing sorts 



The Davis Perfect has become the most popular cucumber 

 both for forcing under glass and growing outside, for the 

 following reasons : 



First. It has an ideal shape, and the handsomest dark 

 green color of all cucumbers. 



Second. It is a type of the most perfect size; just what is 

 wanted either for the table or market. 



Third. Eating qualities surpass any other cucumber. 



Fourth. It is almost seedless one-third of its length from 



Fifth. It is enormously productive, in fact, beats anything 

 we have ever tried. 



Sixth. It does not change its dark, rich color when grown 

 outdoors; in fact, it resembles a hotbouse cucumber so closely 

 that dealers cannot tell the difference, and are willing to pay 

 as much for it as the hothouse production. We believe this 

 is the greatest cucumber ever introduced, and it is bound to 

 become popular everywhere when it is known. It will be a 

 big money maker for anyone engaged in growing cucumbers 

 in the open ground. The Davis Perfect has had the greatest 

 sale any cucumber novelty has ever had and every grower, 



the stem end, and the seeds when it is in slicing condition whether for home consumption or for market, to be abreast 

 are so small and tender that they are unnoticed. | of the times, should plant this variety. 



Packet, lO cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter pound, 45 cents; pound, $1. SO, postpaid.
