CUItTURB. For early use, the seed should be 
sown indoors either in a greenhouse, hotbed or 
In the house about six weeks before setting out. 
Sow the seed ^ to % of an inch deep. When plants 
are one or two inches high they can be transplant¬ 
ed to about 3 inches apart thereby developing 
into stronger plants. As soon as the soil can be 
worked and pulverized, the plants may be set out 
in the open field 2 to 2% feet each way. 
Snowball^ 
The most popular variety for early and general 
crop. Produces nice snow white heads 6 to 8 inch¬ 
es in diameter, of extra fine flavor. Is considered 
a standard by the market gardener, also very de¬ 
sirable for the home garden. 
Extra Selected Early Snowballs 
This is a strain of Snowball which is selected for 
earliness and uniformity of size and maturity. The 
fine solid heads are pure white of good size and of 
excellent quality. 
Models

larger. Very attractive in appearance and deli¬ 
cious in flavor. It is not only suitable for early 
planting but superior for late planting. Heads 
are large and solid and weigh from 4 to 8 pounds. 
Danish Giant or Dry Weather 
A larger and later variety that is generally plant¬ 
ed for a fall crop. It will stand the dry weather 
of summer better than any other variety. De¬ 
licious flavor and of fine quality.

CULTURE. Plant in hills 6 feet apart each way, 10 to 
20 seeds may be planted in each hill, covering a circle 15 
inches in diameter. When plants are three or four inches 
high they may be thinned to 5 or 6 to a hill, allowing for 
cutworms and beetles destroying one or two. Cultivate 
frequently until the vines cover the ground. The seed 
may also be started in berry boxes by placing them in a 
hotbed. When weather is suitable—settled and warm— 
remove the box as plants are placed in the garden. The 
fruit should be gathered as soon as large enough for use, 
or else the productiveness of the vines will be perma¬ 
nently injured. One ounce of seed is required for 60 
hills; two to three pounds per acre. 
FERTILIZER FOR CUCUMBERS 
About 200 pounds of 6-15-S) fertilizer to the acre will give 
splendid results for eucumbers. Apply as a side-dres.sing 
at seeding time. 
N. K. & Co’s. Sterlinfir* 
One of the earliest cucumbers of the AVhite Spine type. 
For general use it is unsurpassed. It can be picked at 
any size and used for pickles if desired, and will also 
make a fine large cucumber. Is one of the most at¬ 
tractive and heaviest producers, coloring up to a very 
deep green. Its excellent quality, being brittle and crisp 
with a delicate flavor, has made it suitable for market, 
shipping and home gardens alike. 
The Vaugrhantt 
Is one of the finest extra long cucumbers grown. The 
average length when matured is from 12 to 18 inches 
and the diameter from 2 to 214 inches at the center, tap¬ 
ering gradually at both ends. It has a beautiful smooth 
green skin and very few seeds. Very desirable for slic¬ 
ing. It will retain its color and firmness indefinitely, 
making it very popular for shipping. We recommend 
The Vaughan for either hothouse or outdoor growing. 
Longfellows 
An excellent, long, slender, dark green variety, equally 
desirable for greenhouse forcing or outdoor culture. 
This is an ideal cucumber for the market gardener, grow¬ 
ing 12 to 14 Inches in length. 
Davis Perfects 
A selected strain of Long White Spine which retains its 
dark green color and good qualities long after being 
picked. It is crisp, solid, of fine flavor and has very few 
seeds. Will average about ten inches or more in length, 
is quite slender, tapering slightly at both ends. The 
Davis Perfect makes a splendid cucumber to grow for 
pickling, as well as for table.
