“BEST POSSIBLE” SEEDS 
CHAS. C. HART SEED CO. —19— WETHERSFIELD, CONN. 
CONCOMBRE CUCUMBER 
CETRIOLO 
Cucumber will succeed best if planted after the ground has become thoroughly warm, in hills 
four feet apart. Mix a shovelful of Well rotted manure with the soil in each hill. Sprinkle with wood 
ashes or insect powder when the vines are small to protect from bugs. When all danger is past, 
thin out, leaving four plants to the hill. 
One ounce will plant 50 hills. About 3 pounds per acre.

Hybrid White Spine— Certainly the highest yield¬ 
ing and probably the hardiest of all Cucum¬ 
bers. The fruits are long and straight, rather 
slim and of a very attractive rich, deep green 
color which is set off by numerous showy white 
spines. The color stays green for over a week 
making it an extra good shipper. Although the 
Hybrid is not an extra early Cucumber its pro¬ 
ductivity and high yield more than make up 
for this. We have taken great pains to make 
our strain of this splendid variety the finest 
obtainable. 65 days. 
Black Diamond —The cucumber all growers for 
market want. Will grow in all sections and 
soils. Fruit is about 7x3 inches, smooth and 
cylindrical, and is a dark green from end to 
end. The flesh is white, firm and crisp. Its 
faculty for retaining its color and its remark¬ 
able productiveness make it a great money 
maker for all kinds of gardeners. 52 days.
