Field Corn (Continued) 
PRIDE OF THE NORTH— (80 days.) This variety has 
smaller ears than late kinds, but is valuable to grow, as it ma¬ 
tures earlier. Planted as late as July 4th, it has fully matured 
by October 1st. The ears have from fourteen to sixteen rows, 
grown eight to ten inches in lenbth, slightly tapering. 
IMPROVED LEAMING—(90 days). This is one of the 
earliest large yellow Dent corns in cultivation, ripening in 90 
to 100 days from planting. It is extra early and not a hard 
flinty corn. The ears are large and handsome with deep, large 
grains ; orange yellow solor and red cob. Stalks medium size, 
tapering gradually, producing two good ears each. 
MINNESOTA NO. 13—The ears are of handsome appear¬ 
ance, bearing 16 to 20 rows of bright, rich yellow, smooth, 
wedge-shaped kernels packed closely on the cob from butt 
to tip. Matures in 90 days. 
BOONE COUNTY WHITE—This is an excellent White 
Dent variety, maturing in 110 days. It is a great favorite 
among growers. One of the best for either grain or ensilage. 
EARLY CANADA FLINT 88 DAYS—Height of stalk 
about 6 feet. Kernels of a glazed yellow, considerably lighter 
in color than the Pennsylvania Long Yellow Flint. A very 
desirable Corn to plant in Northern Latitudes. 
IOWA GOLD MINE CORN—(90 days). A medium early 
large, yellow Dent that is valuable for parts of Iowa and the 
Middle States. The grain is deep, a golden yellow color, ears 
of good size. Cobs small. One of the best Silo Corns. 
IOWA SILVER MINE—(90 days). The stalks grow to a 
height of seven or eight feet and set the ears about three and 
one-half to four feet from the ground. The ears measure from 
ten to twelve inches in length and often weigh one and a half 
pounds. 
NORTHWESTERN DENT—Early red dent, extremely 
hardy—will produce a crop when all other dents fail. Ma¬ 
tures in 90 days. 
Cucumbers for Pickles and Salads 
CUI/FURE—Cucumbers are planted in hills which, for best results, should be made as follows: Dig 
holes about a foot in diameter. Fill these with thoroughly rotted manure or compost, tramp down 
tightly and soak with water. On top of this build a mound about four inches high of fine soil. These 
hills can be made any time but the seeds should not be planted until the weather and soil have become 
quite warm. 
LONG WHITE SPINE 
Plant about a dozen seeds in the top of each hill. Cover them about a half inch and press 
the soil down firmly. 
When the plants put forth the third pair of leaves thin out to the four strongest plants 
to the hill. The hills should be about three feet apart. Keep the soil loose and free of weeds, but 
after the plants have started to cover the ground do not move them. 
One ounce will plant 50 hills, two pounds will plant an acre. 
LONG WHITE SPINE—After years of experimenting we have 
found this to be a reliable, all-purpose variety for market garden as 
well as the home garden. It cannot fail to be profitable, whether 
grown for early slicing or late pickling. The fruit when suitable to 
ship, is six or seven inches in length, green to the tip and ends, solid, 
crisp, and of excellent flavor. 
EARLY CLUSTER—A very popular early cucumber producing its 
fruit in clusters near the root of the plant. Its usual length is about 
five inches ; skin prickly, flesh white, seedy, tender and well flavored. 
BOSTON PICKLING—A distinct variety which has obtained a 
great degree of popularity on the market as a pickle. Medium long, a 
great producer. 
LONGFELLOW—The Longfellow is a White Spine type with 
very dark green appearance. The vines are exceptionally healthlj 
and productive and fairly early. The fruits will average 12 to 1 
inches in length by 2% inches in diameter. Very desirable for privat 
garden or market gardener. 
EARLY WHITE SPINE—Vines vigorous, fruiting early and abund¬ 
antly ; fruit uniformly straight and handsome, dark green, with a few 
white spines ; flesh tender and of excellent flavor. In this country this 
variety is used more, perhaps, than any other for forcing under glass. 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN—Unquestionably this is the most pop¬ 
ular general purpose cucumber in the West. When matured is nine to 
twelve inches long, very solid and crisp; retains its dark green color 
until nearly ripe. One of the best for small pickling if picked promptly. 
EARLY RL T SSIAN—Extremely early and very productive. Good for 
pickles and slicing for table use. Also where the season is short, this 
variety will make good crop where others will not mature. 
EARLY FORTUNE—Comparative tests with all other strains of 
White Spine prove that this new type has all the “earmarks” of 
becoming the most popular market variety yet developed. A quick 
grower, very productive and disease-resistant; fruits nine inches long, 
slightly tapering ; flesh white, very firm and crisp, with very few seeds; 
color, rich, dark green, which does not fade when shipped a long dis¬ 
tance. Pkt., 5e; oz., 10c; % lb., 35c; I lb., $1.00. All the above
