Cucumber 
Cucumbers succeed best in warm, moist, rich, loamy ground. They should not be planted in 
the open air until there is a prospect of settled warm weather. Plant in hills about four feet apart 
each way. The hills should be previously prepared by mixing thoroughly with the soil in each a 
shovelful of well-rotted manure. Sprinkle the vinos liberally with Slug Shot to protect them from 
bugs, and when a 1 danger from insects is past, thin out the plants, leaving three to four of the 
strongest to each hill. One ounce of seed will plant about 60 hills; two pounds will plant an acre 
EARLY FRAME or SHORT GREEN 
follows the Spine in earliness; it is not 
so desirable a variety, and is cultivated 
to a limited extent; is of a deep green 
color, and changes to a bright yellow 
when ripening. y t lb., 30c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
EARLY GREEN CLUSTER— Very 
prolific, producing the fruits in clus- 
ters near the root of the vine. Fruit 
short and thicker at one end. If fruits 
Are picked frequently, the vines con- 
tinue to bear for a long season. It is 
a good pickling variety. % lb., 30c; 1 
lb., $1.00. 
EVERGREEN WHITE SPINE This 
variety grows fruit 10 to 12 inches in 
length and of rather large diameter. It 
is an early and vigorous grower. More 
blight-proof than any of the longer 
sorts. Color a dark green. In shape it 
is straight and smooth. A very good 
flavor, which makes it an excellent va- 
riety for home use, as well as for the 
market. % lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.25. 
ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE. — One 
of the most distinct popular and profit- 
able strains of White Spine Cucumber. 
The real merit of this sort has gained 
for it a large and ever-increasing de- 
mand, especially in very large Cucum- 
ber-growing districts of the South and 
East. It is beyond question the ear- 
liest and most productive variety of 
this type, % lb., 35c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
JERSEY PICKLING— This splendid 
variety originated in the celebrated 
pickle section on the Delaware river, 
about 25 miles above Philadelphia, 
where more pickles are grown than in 
any other section of the United States. 
It is pronounced by growers as the 
best of all for pickling. V lb., 30c; 
1 lb., $1.00. 
NEW KLONDYKE— A variety simi- 
lar to White Spine, except that it is 
somewhat earlier in a great many sec- 
tions and of a deeper green color. V t 
lb., 30c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
DAVIS PERFECT— A special selec- 
tion from the White Spine made by one 
of the large growers. It possesses all 
the qualities of the greenhouse varie- 
ties, retaining its fine green color un- 
til nearly ripe, and is equally as good for an out- 
door crop as for greenhouse use, and the outdoor 
crop being so uniform in color as to compare fa- 
vorably with any greenhouse grown. It has very 
few seeds and is ideal for slicing, being rather 
longer than White Spine. lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.25. 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN— The fruits of this 
.variety often attain a length of 12 inches; are 
slender and of a uniform dark green color. It 
Is a rather late variety and largely used for pickl- 
ing; very popular. lb., 30c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
White Spine. 
Collards 
A variety of Cabbage known in different sec- 
tions as “Cole," "Colewprt," or simply “Greens.” 
It is extensively used in the South, where it con- 
tinues in luxuriant growth all winter. 
GEORGIA, SOUTHERN OR CREOLE. — We of- 
fer the true white or green stemmed sort so ex- 
tensively used in the South, where it furnishes 
an abundance of food for man and beast. Freez- 
ing does not injure, but rather improves their 
quality. Per lb., 60c.
