GURKEN (Ger.) 
Cucumber 
CETRIOEO (It.) 
One ounce of seed will plant about 60 hills; 2 lbs. to the acre. 
In most sections it will be best to make two sowings; one as early in 
the spring as the weather permits, to supply fruits for the table dur¬ 
ing the summer months, and a second about the last of June or first 
of July, to furnish fruits for fall use. This late sowing will also give 
the best supply of young fruits for pickling purposes. 
HOLMES' IMPROVED WHITE SPINE. This Cucumber is without 
an equal among market varieties, and is just as good for the home 
gardener. Its rich, dark green color makes it most attractive to the 
eye and its heavy bearing qualities make it most profitable to the 
grower. The plants are very strong and vigorous, and are thus better 
able to resist disease than most other sorts. This Cucumber grows 
about eight inches long. It is early, and can be put on the market 
when prices are high. The gardener who plants this fine Cucumber 
cannot go wrong. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; H lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
EARLY FORTUNE. One of the finest types of the White Spine. The 
Cucumbers when fully grown measure about 9 inches in length, 
slightly tapering at the ends. The color is a rich dark green. The flesh 
is thick and firm, pure white in color; it has but few seeds. The vines 
are vigorous growers, set fruit early and are very productive. The 
Early Fortune is recommended as one of the very best early market 
varieties. We highly recommend a trial. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 30c; 
lb., $1.00. 
STAYS GREEN. Excellent shipper. Fruits rich dark green, retaining 
their color long after picking; dark spined; about 8 inches long, 2 y 2 to
