DO YOU LIKE SLICED CUCUMBERS IN 
HOT WEATHER? When you can go out in your 
garden and pick a few nice slicers just before meal 
time, they taste ever so much better than those 
purchased outside. 
CULTURE —A light warm soil is best for Cucum¬ 
bers, although they will do very well in most any 
good well drained garden soil. After all frost danger 
is past sow the seed in hills 4x4 or 4x6 feet apart. 
Cover 3^ inch deep planting 8 to 10 seeds in each 
hill. Later when the danger of insects is over remove 
all but 3 or 4 of the strongest plants. 
QUANTITY OP SEED. One ounce should plant 
about 50 hills, 2 lbs. an acre.

riety where an excellent long slicing cucumber is 
wanted. The fruits are long, slender and uniform 
in shape and size, with very few seeds and with firm 
flesh and good keeping quality. The dark green 
color is held until the fruits are ripe. Though not as 
long as Longfellow, this variety is more certain to 
do well under poor conditions, so for the home
