Long Green Improved 
Cucumbers 
Carefully Selected Strains, True to Name and Very Best 
for Table and Pickling 
CULTURE—Do not plant Cucumbers before danger of 
frost has passed, as the plants are very tender and the least 
frost will damage them or kill them. Plant in hills or rows 
4 feet apart, 10 to 15 seeds to each hill; make soil very rich. 
For pickles plant from June first to middle of July. 
Spray, your Cucumber plants with Pyrox or Bordeaux Mix¬ 
ture and Arsenate of Lead as soon as they appear, then three 
or four times during growth. It kills the bugs and prevents 
blight.
