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 snowy 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., 15c; 34 lb., 50c; lb., $1.60. 
ACE CUCUMBER, our new variety, is described 
and illustrated on page 3. 
LONGFELLOW An unusually long and attractive 
cucumber, which naturally 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., 20c; 34 lb., 60c; lb., $2.00. 
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 7 to 8 inches long. This variety is used very 
extensively in the South, and has proved its value 
on many types of soil. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 34 lb-, 
35c; lb., $1.25. 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN (Mustard Cuke) A 
standard, late table variety of the black spine type.

warted, and inclined to taper at the ends. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 15c; )4 lb., 40c; lb., $1.50. 
EARLY FORTUNE A white spine variety which is 
recognized as being one of the best for shipping, as 
it has an attractive dark green color which it holds 
well. It is early and productive. Not as long as 
Woodruff’s Hybrid, nor quite as good a color, but 
matures uniformly about 9 inches long. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 15c; 34 lb., 40c; lb., $1.40.
