CUCUMBERS—For Greenhouse or Cold Frame Culture 
Hints on Successful Cultivation. Cucumbers may be easily grown, 
even by those who possess no more convenience for the crop than a 
cold frame, provided that a good bed of manure is available to sup¬ 
ply the requisite bottom heat, and due attention is paid to manage¬ 
ment, especially as regards moisture and ventilation. Plants may be 
raised under glass any time from February to October, according to 
the requirements of the cultivator. In houses or frames a tempera¬ 
ture of 60 degrees by night and 80 degrees by day will promote 
healthy growth, and at first it may be necessary to shade the plants 
a little; the night temperature, however, should not be allowed to 
fall below 60 degrees. Ply the syringe freely, give air carefully, and 
use the least amount of shading possible. To be dry at the root is 
deadly to the Cucumber plant. Employ soft water of the same tem¬ 
perature as the house. The fruits should be thinned to avoid over¬ 
cropping. 
6635. (G.) Sutton’s Every-Day. Raised in the Royal Gardens, .Wind¬ 
sor, and it is no exaggeration to say that in the wonderful crop 
it produces this variety has no rival. The plant sets freely at all 
seasons of the year, hence the name. Fruit of good length, deep 
green in color, almost smooth and of splendid flavor. 
Per pkt., $1.00. 
6639. (G.) Sutton’s Delicacy. Fruits dark green, slightly ribbed, 
with an almost invisible white spine; handle very small. Its attrac¬ 
tive appearance and superior flavor cannot fail to win favor at 
the table. Constitution robust; habit extremely prolific. Length 
about 18 inches. Per pkt., 70c. 
6641. (G.) Sutton’s Improved Telegraph. The finest type of Tele¬ 
graph Cucumber in cultivation, quick in growth, handsome, with 
very small neck, and unusually prolific. Has taken numerous 
First Prizes at leading shows. Per pkt., 70c. 
RIDGE CUCUMBER—For Outdoor Cultivation 
Hints on Successful Cultivation. Ridge Cucumbers may be grown 
on hillocks or on beds, and in either case a foundation of fermenting 
material should be provided. About mid-April sow the seeds in pots 
or boxes placed in a cool greenhouse. After careful hardening, 
plant out about the third week of May. If preferred, seeds may be 
sown on the bed early in May. The tips of the shoots should be 
pinched out once only—when five or six leaves have developed. 
6661. Sutton’s King of the Ridge. Grows quite straight from 12 to 
16 inches in length, and is almost equal to many Cold Frame 
Cucumbers. The fruit is remarkably smooth, productive, hardy, 
vigorous, and of the finest flavor. Per pkt., 45c. 
6677. Short Prickly or Gherkin. (For pickling). Prolific bearing; 
medium sized fruits. Tender skin when pickled. Per pkt., 30c.

Sutton's Delicocy Cucumbers 
EGGPLANT 
Sow seeds in a box or pot in greenhouse or hotbed, in February 
and March. When about 3 inches high, plant singly into small pots 
and set plants out as soon as all danger from frost is past (about 
May 20), placing them 21/2 feet apart each way. 
One packet for 50 plants; one ounce, about 500.

mended by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries of Great Britain 
for the destruction of the fungus causing the Celery Leaf Spot 
Disease.

6711. Sutton’s Exquisite Curled. It would be difficult to convey an 
accurate idea of the beauty of this elegantly curled Endive. In 
color it is midway between the white and green varieties, and in 
habit resembles Sutton’s Extra Fine Green Curled. Strongly rec¬ 
ommended for forcing. Per pkt., 45c. 
6726. Sutton’s Paris Market. This is one of the Endives largely 
grown in Europe and much in favor in this country. Leaves 
laciniated and blanch well. Per pkt., 30c.

represented by the Scotch Kale, but quite distinct in character.

densely curled. This is unquestionably the finest of the curled 
varieties. Per oz., 50c.
