CI, l/l'l'HE — For verj' early, soW 
seeds in hot beds upon pieces of sod, 
or in small pots, and they can be read- 
ily transplanted with a gain of about 
six weeks before they can be sown in 
the open ground. Plant out in rich 
soil when danger of frost is over, or 
they may be protected by hand glasses, 
or even by paper held down at the 
corners with a handful of earth. For 
general crops, sow in the open ground 
as soon as weather is settled' and 
warm, and again every two weeks for 
a succession. For pickles sow from 
the middle of June to the first week in 
July. Sod land, turned over in the 
fall, is the best for them. Plant in 
hills four feet apart, putting a shovel- 
ful of well-rotted manure in each hill.

For years we experimented with all the varieties of differ- 
ent cucumbers recommended for pickling purposes, testing 
them by the side of our "Favorite," but found none that 
equaled it either in yield or quality. In form it itt solid nnd 
rather thick, flesh Is crisp and exeeedinely tender, nltliouKb 
very Arm. Taken all together it is about as near perfection 
I'or pickling purposes as a cucumber can be. We heartily 
recommend it to all our friends who desire a choice pickle, 
and know that thousands of our patrons who purchase it 
each year will gladly endorse our recommendation. Pkt. 5c,
