CUCUMBER 
Woodruff's Hybrid Cucumber 
Culture Cucumbers grow best in a rich, warm sandy 
loam. Sow seed when danger of frost is past, in hills four 
or five feet each way. Sow thickly half an inch deep, and 
thin out to three or four plants to the hill. An ounce of 
seed will plant 100 hills; two pounds per acre. 
WOODRUFF'S HYBRID We consider this the finest 
all around cucumber in existence. It has a long and 
straight, attractive shape, with a very rich green 
color, a fine lot of showy white spines. The 
color stays green for a week making it a fine 
shipper. Many Southern cucumber growers will 
use no other, which is indeed a fine testimonial 
for it. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 34 lb., 60c; lb., $2.00. 
FORDHOOK FAMOUS One of the largest of the 
white spine family. The fruits grow to be as much 
as 12 inches long, the color is excellent, and the 
quality the best. It stands shipment well and keeps 
its color. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 34 lb., 60c; lb., $2.00. 
LONGFELLOW An unusually long and attractive 
cucumber, which naturaly will not yield as many 
cucumbers as some of the small varieties. It will 
average under good conditions 12 to 15 inches in 
length, which should compensate for the lower yield. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 34 lb-, 75c; lb., $2.50. 
SUNNY SOUTH (Stays Green) or BLACK DIAMOND 
This cucumber has a perfect shape, dark green color, 
and is early, productive, and a fine shipper. The 
fruit is not as long as Woodruff’s Hybrid, being 
seven to eight inches. This variety is used very ex¬ 
tensively in the South, and has proved its value on 
many types of soil. Pkt., 10c ; oz., 20c; 34 lb., 60c ; 
lb., $2.00.
