MONARCH SEED AND FEED COMPANY, MEDFORD, OREGON 
Cucumbers 
CULTURE —Reasonably good soil that is fully exposed to the sun will raise a good crop of Cucumbers. 
Every family should be supplied from its home garden, since the fruit is so much better when gathered 
fresh from the vines as desired for use than it is in the more or less wilted condition in which it is found 
on the market. Cucumbers are close relatives of melons but mature in about 60 days and may be brought 
to maturity with little trouble in the home garden. The seeds must be sown after the ground becomes 
warm, and the plants thinned to three or four to the hill. A very rich soil is the best precaution against 
insects and the blight. The striped beetle should be kept away from the young plants with liberal appli¬ 
cations of powdered arsenate of lead or our SULFO-LEAD DUST. Dust the under side of the leaves with 
NICO-DUST to kill aphis.
