TUCKERS' SEED HOUSE. CARTHAGE. MISSOURI 
QUALITY CUCUMBERS 
Do not plant cucumbers before danger of frost has passed as the plants are very tender and the least frost will 
damage 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. 
TUCKERS' SUPERIOR DARK GREEN— The perfect ideal dark green cucum¬ 
ber. In our estimation this is the best cucumber grown. It can be aptly- 
described as the perfect cucumber. The fruits are a glossy dark green. It 
is equally good as a pickle cucumber or for slicing for table use. The flesh 
is solid, tender and of excellent quality at all stages of growth. It is very 
prolific, bearing fruits of even size all through the season. Postpaid, pkt. 10c;

TUCKERS' OZARK PICKLER —The greatest yielder of all. Unequalled in 
quality. This is one of the grandest of all pickling cucumbers. It is solid

sary to make a good pickle. It is very productive, from 8 to 10 inches long, 
retaining its rich, green color throughout the season. Postpaid, pkt. 5c;
