stalk produces from four to five ears 5 to 6 
inches long, having eight rows of sweet ker¬ 
nels. On account of its firm texture it can 
be planted earlier than any other variety 
of Sweet Corn and is less apt to be bothered 
by worms. Don’t fail to have some of this

pearly white kernels are of great depth, most 
delicious, and the flavor will delight an epi¬ 
cure. The cob is small, the ears are of good 
size and are generally produced two or three 
to the stalk. The grains are set on the cob in 
a zig-zag manner which makes it very diffi¬ 
cult for worms to damage it to any extent.

medium late varieties and grown more exten¬ 
sively in Colorado and other parts of the coun¬

large; we have seen them 10 to 11 inches long.

one. Besides it has the finest foliage for a fodder crop. We are

COLORADO GROWN 
CUCUMBERS 
OUR SEED LN GROWN BY OURSELVES 
FROM OUR OWN THOROUGHBRED STOCKS 
The cucumber is one of the 
most popular of vegetables 
and with a little care can be 
grown to perfection in any 
part of the United States. 
Every family so situated 
should be supplied from its 
own garden, as the fruit is 
much better when gathered 
fresh from the vines than 
obtained from the market, 
which is usually in a more 
or less wilted condition. One 
of our leading specialties is the growing of Cucuml>er seed. We 
plant several hundred acres of the leading standard varieties 
for seed purposes every season. 
Culture—Cucumbers thrive best in a warm, moist, rich, sandy 
loam, manured, and should not be planted in open ground until 
the weather is settled and warm, as otherwise they will not 
thrive. Plant in hills 3 to 4 feet apart each way, thinning to 
three or four of the strongest pants after danger from insects 
is past. For a very early crop, the seed may be planted in small 
berry boxes in the hotbed or the window in the house during 
the early spring and transplanted to the 
open ground when all danger of frost is 
past. When setting them out, the boxes 
can be easily cut away without disturb¬ 
ing the roots. 
The young plants are liable to attack 
from the striped cucumber beetles which 
are numerous In some parts of the coun¬ 
try. These insects may be kept off by 
frequent dusting with air-slacked lime, 
soot or sifted ashes mixed with dust; 
care should be taken not to use too much 
of the above materials, for if used too 
freely they will injure the vines. The 
Cucumbers should be gathered as soon 
as they reach a marketable size. 
Boston Pickling (or Green Prolific)— 
A distinct variety. A favorite with 
pickle growers and commercial garden¬ 
ers. and good for table use. Quite pro¬ 
ductive; fruit small, uniform in size.
