EXTRA SELECTED CUCUMBERS 
If desired very early, sow In hotbed, upon pieces of sod, grass side down, so they can be readily transplanted to 
the open ground when danger from frost has passed. Do not plant outside until warm, settled weather is assured. 
Make low, flat hills four to six feet apart each way. The soil should be warm, moist and rich with well-rotted manure, 
dug in deeply. Put a dozen seeds In a hill, and cover one inch, pressing the soil firmly over them. Thin out to three 
or four of the strongest plants after all danger from Insects is over. Gather the Cucumbers when large enough for use, 
whether reouired or not; if left to ripen, the vines stop bearing. Sow in June and July for pickles. Air-slacked lime 
dusted on the young plants will keep away the bugs. 
Evergreen White Spine. Our select strain of this new 
variety is unsurpassed for either table or market use. It is also 
a superior sort for pickling. Is very prolific, early, of good size, 
straight, well-formed and full at both ends. One of Its best points 
is that it retains its rich, deep green color until it reaches ma- 
turity. The fruit is of excellent flavor, white, clear, crisp and very 
tender. Ounce, 10 cents. pound, 40 cents. 
CUMBERLAND. The vines are hardy, of strong, 
vigorous growth, and fruiting very freely. The young 
Cucumbers are thickly set with small spines, and are 
equally attractive for making small gherkins, medium 
sized or large pickles. Cumberland originated from a 
cross of the slender thickly spined Paris Pickling and 
the popular White Spine. As a result we have a 
thicker and more symmetrical fruit, retaining the 
spineness, crispness and delicacy of flavor of the Paris 
Pickling. The straight young fruits possess the dis- 
tinctly roughened surface so much desired for small 
pickles. The large fruits average nine to ten inches 
in length, two and a half inches in diameter with full 
rounded ends, and are of excellent quality for slicing. 
Ounce, 15 cents. ^ pound, 40 cents. 
Early Short Green, or Frame. An excellent, 
sort, both for table use and for pickling. Plants very 
vigorous and productive. Fruit straight, handsome, 
small at each end,- bright green, lighter at the blossom 
end, with crisp tender flesh, and makes excellent 
pickles. Comes Into use a little later than the Early 
Cluster and keeps green a long time. Our stock Is 
very superior. Ounce, 10 cents. pound, 25 cents.
