SWEET CORN. 
All Corn mailed free up to the pint if ordered with other goods. Add postage at zone rate if ordered alone. Purchaser pays carriage on 
quarts and pecks. Average weight, 1 pint equals 1 lb. ; 1 quart equals 2 lb. 
The Cultivation of Sweet Corn.— Plant in a rich, warm soil, in rows 3 ft. apart for early sorts and 4 ft. apart for the late sorts. Place hills 
2 to 3 ft. apart in the rows. The seed is liable to rot if planted in wet or cold ground. Vet, if we have an early warm period in spring it often 
pays to take some risks, as the plants, when once up. will often escape injury from belated frosts. May 15th is early enough to plant for season- 
able crops. For succession plant every two weeks to July 15th. 1 quart of seed will plant 200 hills, 8 to 10 quarts to an acre.

CUCUMBER. 
ENGLISH FORCING OR FRAME. 
The Cultivation of Indoor Cucumber. -English Forcing or Frame varieties for winter use must be started under glass early in September, 
in pots or pans, keeping the seed pans shaded from strong light until the seedlings appear. When established, transplant to the permanent 
position in hotbeds or greenhouse, in a well-prepared soil, and supply freely with lukewarm water and light liquid manures; or sow in a pot or 
pan during February or March in heat for summer use, keeping the seed-pan shaded from strong light until the seedlings appear, then transplant 
to well-prepared hot-bed or other position, when the plants are sufficiently established. If intended for cold-frame culture the plants must not be 
put out until all danger of frost is past.

tained some remarkable fruit of this variety. 229 First Prizes

OUTDOOR VARIETIES. 
The Cultivation of Outdoor Cucumber. — For early use sow April 1st in hotbeds, upon inverted grass sods, so that they can be readily 
transplanted to the open ground in rich soil when all danger of frost is past. For outdoor cultivation sow the seed when the weather becomes 
settled and warm, in hills from 4 to 6 ft. apart each way. Thin out to four of the strongest plants to a hill after danger from insects is over. 
These plants exist best in a warm, moist, rich, loamy soil. Continue planting at intervals for a succession. Cucumbers should be gathered when 
large enough for use, whether required or not, because if left to ripen they spoil the productiveness of the plant. For pickles plant in June and 
July. 1 oz. of seed will plant 50 hills, 2 lb. to the acre.
