Cucumbers for Table and Pickling 
Field Corn— Continued 
Learning's Improved Dent. The earliest Dent Corn 
in cultivation, ripening 100 days from the time of planting. 
Ears large and handsome, with deep, large grains of orange 
color and small red cob. Stalk medium size, usually pro¬ 
ducing two ears to each stalk. Market price. 
Learning Dent, Western Grown. Both ear and 
stalk of somewhat larger growth and require a 
few more days to mature than our earliest va¬ 
riety. Particularly valuable for ensilage, for 
which it is more generally used in this vicinity 
than any other sort on account of large stalk 
and heavy yield. Market price. 
Eureka Ensilage. A popular, tali, 
leafy variety of Southern White Dent 
Corn, used exclusively for ensilage; does 
not often mature in this latitude as our 
season is too^short. Market price.

Cucumbers 
For early Cucumbers, start in the hotbed about the middle of April upon pieces of heavy sod, grass side down. 
When the weather will permit, remove to carefully prepared hills in the open ground and protect with boxes when 
the air is cold. For the main crop, as soon as the weather has become settled and warm, prepare hills 4 feet apart, 
using a shovelful of warm, well-rotted manure to each hill; cover this 2 inches with fine earth, and plant 15 to 20 
seeds inch deep. Press down with the back of the hoe. When the plants begin to crowd and the danger from 
bugs is past, thin to four vines to the hill. Pick all Cucumbers when large enough; if left to ripen on the vines they 
will cease to be productive. For a succession, plant at intervals. For pickles, plant from the middle of June 
until the middle of July. 
One ounce will plant 56 hills, 2 pounds for an acre.
