CUCUMBERS 
HOW TO GROW CUCUMBERS.—They want a 
rich, warm, well-worked soil. Plant in hills about 4 
feet apart each way. Plant 8 to 10 seeds in each hill. 
When the plants are up strong, thin out, leaving four 
of the strongest ones in each hill. For early crop, plant 
as soon as the weather is settled and soil is warm 
during May. By starting plants under glass or in pots, 
they will have a good start and can be set out in May. 
For pickles, for late use, and for canning, plant in June. 
Other plantings may be continued until July 15. Keep 
gathering the Cucumbers; do not allow any to ripen, 
or it will stop the vines from continuing to bear. Spray 
the plants from the very beginning with Ever Green or 
some other good insecticide; it kills the bugs. One 
ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 pounds to the acre. The 
figures give the number of days from planting to picking. 
Schell’s Extra-Early Majestic 
52 days. A very valuable variety because of its 
extreme earliness. In comparative tests with all 
other varieties, we found none any earlier. In ad¬ 
dition to its great market value because of its 
earliness, it is an exceedingly attractive Cucum¬ 
ber, being very uniform in shape, with blunt or “square” ends, and a very rich dark green color which holds until it 
is almost ripe. In size it averages 7 to 8 inches long. The flesh is white. Heavy yielder. Dependable shipper, first 
in the market. If we had room we could give you hundreds of testimonials from our customers who have planted
