Fresh or Pickled — Home or Market — Hardie Offers These as Best 
Hardie’s Superior Cucumbers

Longfellow. 
CULTURE — Cucumbers should not be 
planted until the ground gets warm, unless 
you are prepared to protect them during the 
cold storms. Plant in hills 6 feet apart each 
way, enrich the hills with a quantity of decom¬ 
posed manure or commercial fertilizer; scatter 
8 or 10 seeds on each hill, cover one-inch deep 
and press the soil firmly over them; thin out 
to three or four plants to the hill; never allow 
any of the fruits to ripen on the vine, as they 
will cease setting fruit as soon as seed com¬ 
mences to mature. Requires one ounce to 60 
hills, about 1 V 2 pounds per acre.

GOOD SEED 
Now More Important 
Than Ever 
Regulations restricting 
planting of certain crops 
make careful seed selection 
more important than ever 
—not only to insure the 
maximum per acre yield of 
the regulated crops but also 
to maintain or increase the 
fertility of the land which 
must now be devoted to 
forage or soil-saving crops. 
So, choose your seeds 
carefully. Your seed is 
your smallest farming ex¬ 
pense, but your yield de¬ 
pends largely on its quality. 
The dependability of 
Hardie’s Seeds has been 
recognized for over 30 
years.
