CULTURE FOR HOT-BED—Make the frame eight feet wide 
and as long as is desired, using 12 in. boards. Select a place with 
good loamy soil on a sunny slope. Mix the soil almost half 
and half with horse manure. About February 1st sow liberally 
with seed, in hills 3 feet apart each way. Stretch wire over 
the frame across and lengthwise. Sow muslin in widths and 
lengths to cover frame. Arrange to roll the muslin on a stick 
as a curtain. Cover each evening, and open each day. 
FIELD CULTURE —Plant from March to October in hills 4 to 
6 feet each way, 8 to 10 seeds to a hill. Earlier sowings can 
be made by protecting with Hotkaps. Cover an inch deep. 
When danger of insects is past, thin out the plants, leaving 
3 or 4 of the strongest in each hill. One ounce of seed will 
plant 50 hills; two pounds to the acre.

der and crisp. It is the best all-around cucumber yet offered

This cucumber has steadily grown into favor 
*^*'^**'^**^'^ since we first offered it. It is the one va¬ 
riety that made carload shipments possible because it is firm, 
dark green color, and stays green until consumed. It is a desir¬ 
able size, just 7 to 8 inches long, symmetrical in shape, and es¬ 
pecially crisp and palatable. It is an excellent variety for pick¬ 
ling when young, as well as desirable for the market. Edible 
in 58 days. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c) (14 lb. 45c) (lb. $1.25) postpaid.

f^liiracTO Pir’lflirio'^his is the variety that is grown 
VxiiiuagU 1 iLlvllllg largely for pickling factories, and our 
seed has given the growers satisfactory results for years. 
It is chosen because of its delicious quality and its shape, be¬ 
ing one inch thick and three inches long when at pickling size. 
It is enormously prolific, bearing in clusters. We can recom¬ 
mend it for the home garden. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c) f!4 lb. 45c)

finer r'liriimViAf variety is entirely dis- 
ILVerDearing L^UCUmDer tlnct from all others on ac¬ 
count of its close, bushy growth and everbearing 
character. The first cucumbers are ready very early 
and the vines continue to flower and produce fruit continually 
until late in the season, whether the ripe cucumbers are 
picked off or not, differing in this respect from all other va¬ 
rieties of cucumbers in cultivation. One of the old reliable va¬ 
rieties growing 5 to 6 inches long. The skin is dark green, 
the meat firm and crisp. 
We recommend this to be planted in home gardens at all 
times, but especially in September. Edible in 52 days. (Pkt. 
5c) (oz. 20c) (!4 lb. 65c) (lb. $2.00) postpaid. 
(^L^„l_:_ This cucumber is the most delicious of all the 
'^**''* •*^*** cucumber family when properly pickled. It should 
be more extensively grown. Planted where it may climb on a 
trellis, one vine will cover a section of fence eight feet high and 
twelve feet wide, producing possibly a thousand or more of the 
delicious and oddly shaped gherkins. It should be planted to 
shade a window or back porch. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 25c) (14 lb. 75c)

For Mildew on Cucumbers we advise using 1 qt. Fungusol 
Emulsion to 40 gals, water. For Cucumber Beetles use 1 qt. 
Destruxol and 8 lbs. Calcium Arsenate to 200 gals, water. 
Lemon Cucumber 
I c^mrtn Every one who has tried it is unani- 
v.^ui-uiliucr mous in its praise, and would not 
think of omitting it from the spring garden. It is the color of 
a lemon when ready to use, and similar in shape, being less 
pointed at the ends. 
There is nothing but approval for the Lemon Cucumber. It 
may now be found at almost any vegetable stand, and no 
home garden should be without it. Edible in 52 days. (Pkt. 
5c) (oz. 20c) (4 lb. 65c) (lb. $2.00) postpaid. 
Salarl own introductions and one 
^ of the finest cucumbers ever grown. 
It IS now being sold on the market and we advise market 
gardeners to introduce it to their trade. It is a very mild 
cucumber and does not have the bitter or strong taste often 
found in other varieties. For the home gardener a few hills 
of salad Cheumber will be one of the most interesting things 
in the garden and the crisp tasty cucumbers will provide a 
most delicious salad. The color is a bright, appetizing yel¬ 
low. Try them and you will not be disappointed. S'ix-seven 
inches long. Edible in 58 days. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 30c) 0/a lb. 
$1.00) (1 lb. $3.00) postpaid. 
Japanese Climbing Cucumber SiSuid be^^^irown 
more extensively; it is equal to others in quality and can be 
grown more economically in a small garden by planting near a 
fence or trellis of any kind, and climbs by tendrils as a grape 
vine. Whether space is a factor or not, we recommend it. Edi¬ 
ble in 58 days. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 20c) (14 Ib. 65c) (lb. $2) postpaid.
