CUCUMBER 
CULTURE — For very early Cucumbers, sow April 1 in a hotbed upon pieces of sod (grass sidejdown). 
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. For early use, plant, if the weather has become settled and warm, in hills 4 to 6 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 notj if left to ripen, it destroys their pro- 
ductiveness. For pickles, plant from June until July. The yellow-striped cucumber or squash beetle is the 
most serious msect enemy of the crop. Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture is by far the best remedy yet discovered. Dilute it with water. 3 ounces to the gallon and 
ipray it on the vines when m danger of the beetle or blight. One ounce will plant about 50 hills. 3 Ihs. per acre in hills.

'EWING'S IMPROVED LONG GREEN CUCUMBER' 
' "FORDHOOK FAMOUS" 
Extra Long White Spine 
This is the most beautiful and longest White Spine Cucumber. 
Vines produce an enormous crop, being of unusually vigorous grovrth, 
with large, thick, heavy leaves which withstand the attacks of insects. 
Perfectly smooth and very dark green, the handsome fruits measiu-e 
twelve to fourteen inches long; they are always straight — never turn 
yellow, and are very solid. The flesh is a greenish white, firm, crisp, 
and of most delicious flavor. The flesh is unusually thick and seed 
i space extremely small; — it seems to be "all flesh and no seeds!" Lb. 
[$2.2S; lb. 7Sc.; oz. 2Sc.; pkt. 10c. 
EWING'S IMPROVED LONG GREEN 
A superior strain. Is vigorous and productive, and forms fruits 
ready for use almost as soon as the shorter varieties. The mature 
i fruit is about 12 inches long and dark green in color, uniform size, 
crisp and tender. The smaU fruits are much used for pickles. Lb. 
I $2.25; }4 lb. 75c.; oz. 25c.; pkt. 10c. 
EVERBEARING — Small size, very early, and enormously productive 
and valuable as a green pickler. It continues to flower and produce 
fruit until killed by frost, whether the cucumbers are picked off or 
not. Remarkably solid, with very few seeds, and of fine quality. 
Invariably of perfect form, even when small. Lb. $2.25; lb. 
75c.; oz. 25c.; pkt. 10c. 
CUMBERLAND PICKLING— The vines are hardy and fruit very 
freely. The young cucumbers are thickly set with small spines, and 
I possess the distinctly roughened surface so much desired for small 
I pickles. The large fruits average nine to ten inches in length by two 
and a half inches in diameter, with full rounded ends, and are of good 
quality for slicing. Lb. $2.25; ^ lb. 75c.; oz. 25c.; pkt. 10c. 
THE DAVIS PERFECT 
By using this variety gardeners can produce out-of-door Cucum- 
bers that will sell in the market for hothouse forcing varieties. The 
shape is ideal. It is almost seedless one-third of its length from the 
stem, and the few seeds that are contained in its blossom end when 
in eating condition are so small and tender that they are hardly 
noticeable. Most important of all, it does not lose its dark, rich color 
when grown outdoors. It is hard to tell the difference between it 
and a hothouse cucumber. Lb. $2.25; ^ lb. 75c.; oz. 25c.; pkt. 
10c. 
EWING'S IMPROVED WHITE SPINE 
It is early, prolific, and produces a continuous crop of uniformly 
large and symmetrical fruits of an intensely rich deep green color, 
faintly marked with light yellowish shading toward the tip. It 
runs very close to type, bearing practically no misshapen fruit or 
culls. It is the ideal for slicing; the flesh is compact, fine grained, 
sparkling white and of most refreshing and delightful flavor. The 
vines are vigorous, quite healthy, mildew-proof, maintaining their 
luxuriance and bearing abundantly from the earliest to the latest 
season. Lb. $2.25; ]4 lb. 75c.; oz. 25c.; pkt. 10c. 
ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE FORCING— A strain of White 
Spine which has been improved through careful selection with a 
view to use for forcing in hothouses and frames. When young 
the fruits are tender and crisp, and when fully grown will measure 
six to seven inches in length. It is dark green in color, very straight 
and even in shape. Lb. $2.25; H lb. 75c.; oz. 25c.; pkt. 10c.
