PARCHING CORN. 
Glass' Red Rice— This is a new variety of 
rice corn of a dark wine color. I have never 
had a better parching corn ; ears good size and 
will yield 60 to 70 bushels to the acre, and sells 
readily for $1.00 a bushel. This corn took the 
first premium at the New York State fair over 
all varieties. Large packet, 10 cents; qt., 40 
cents ; pk., ears (not prepaid) 75 cents. 
Amber Rice— A beautiful colored rice corn and very fine for 
parching. Large packet, 10 cents ; qt., 40 cents. 
White Rice— The old standard rice parching corn that has 
been long in use. Large packet, 10 cents ; qt., 40 cents. 
Field Corn — For description and prices of Field Corn see page 
41. 
CURLED CRESS, OR PEPPER GRASS. 
This is a small, well-known pungent salad, used with lettuce, 
to which it makes a most agreeable addition. A fresh sowing 
should be made about once in ten days, as it matures rapidly, 
and can be eated only when young and tender. It is fine for gar- 
nishing and to eat with cold meats. Per packet, 5 cents ; oz., 10 
cents. 
CUCUMBERS. 
||p So long as Cucum- 
bers are wanted for the 
table, do not let any go 
to seed, as that impairs 
the fruiting of the vine. 
Cucumbers require a 
warm, rich soil. In this 
climate it is useless to 
plant in the open air 
much before the first of 
June. Plant plenty of 
seed, and when all dan- 
ger from it sects is past, 
long green. thin to four plants in 
the hill. For pickles, plant the last of June. Early cucumbers 
for market are grown mostly in green houses, but for family use 
they may be grown easily in the following manner : Dig a hole 
in the ground one foot deep and two feet across, and nearly fill 
with warm manure. Cover with five or six inches of earth, and 
over the center place a small shallow box with a light of glass or 
a piece of muslin over the top. Gi^e air when the weather is 
warm, and water freely. As the plants grow draw the earth 
around the stems. I have grown them quite successfully in this 
manner. 
JLone Ore en— An old standard 
variety. Large, long, and very 
productive. Many use it exclu- 
sively, both for cucumbers and 
pickles. Per packet, 5 cents ; 
oz., 10c. ; lb. 90 cents. 
Early Green Cluster— Quite 
early ; small, growing in clust- early cluster. 
ers ; prickly, productive. Per packet, 5 cents : oz., 10 cents ; 
lb., 85 cents. 
Early Frame— An old and popular variety. Medium size and 
good for pickling or the table. Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 10 
cents ; lb. 85 cents. 
Early White Spine— This is the standard cucumber for the 
table, whether grown in the open air or under glass. Early, 
large, uniformly straight and attractive : very productive ; a 
great favorite with market gardeners. Per packet, 5 cents ; 
-oz., 10 cents ; lb., 90 cents.
