grew this cucumber ou the ground, allow 
ing it to run about without supports. I 
did this as an experiment, ami found that 
they blighted much quicker than those of 
a friend who trained his on wires ou the 
side of a building. In fact, when I saw 
his not long ago they showed no sign of 
blight. I believe that the circulation of 
air through the foliage does much to keep 
the vines healthy, but even when grown 
in the same way as White Spine. Davis 
Perfect and similar varieties the Japanese 
climbing cucumber shows itself much more 
resistant. I don't think that the cucum¬ 
ber is quite so good, but it is better to 
have slightly inferior cucumbers than none 
at all. As a matter of fact, commercial 
market gardeners gave up trying to grow 
cucumbers out of doors many years ago. 
One of the biggest growers in my section 
told me that he hadn't tried to grow' cu¬ 
cumbers outside of a greenhouse for 15 
An Ingrowing Potato Sprout 
years. Most people do not realize the 
fact, but the majority of cucumbers which 
reach the city markets all through the 
Summer were grown under glass. Even 
the greenhouse cucumbers were affected 
by blight to some extent this season, so 
that buyers have been paying as high as 
10 cents apiece. E. i. Farrington.
