AMERICAN FLAG—This belongs to the Onion family and is 
mostly used for cooking and for flavoring soups, stews, etc. 
It is said to be superior to Onions for this purpose. It has 
large, thick stems of a sweet flavor. Sow in the early spring 
in rich, light, moist soil in drills, covering the seed about 
inch. When the plants are 6 inches high transplant to rows 
12 inches apart, placing plants 6 inches apart in the row. As 
the plants grow draw the earth up to them to whiten the 
necks. Sow 1 ounce of seed to 100 feet of row. Pkt. 5c;

CULTURE—To have very early cucumbers plant in small 
paper pots. Keep them in a hotbed and when plants are large 
enough slip plants and dirt out of the pots and set in hills 
outside after danger of frost, or for later crop plant outside 
after the ground gets warm, from April to July, in rich, well- 
manured hills 4 feet apart. Plant 8 to 10 seeds 1 inch deep 
around the hills. Later thin to 2 or 3 plants to the hill. Hoe 
or cultivate only until the plants start to vine, then pull weeds 
by hand. Cucumbers should be gathered as fast as they are 
large enough, for if left to ripen on the vine they will then 
cease to bear. 1 oz. will plant about 50 hills; 2 lbs. to the 
acre. If troubled with insects use Slug Shot. 
COLORADO CUCUMBER— A home and market gardener’s 
favorite. This probably is the finest of the large, green va¬ 
rieties, being uniform in shape and having a fine dark green 
color. 13 to 15 inches long. Excellent for shipping. Fine 
for slicing and table use. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 54 lb. 65c; 54: lb. 
$1.25; 1 lb. $2.00. 
DEE & BEE HYBRID—We consider this the finest all around 
cucumber in existence. It has a long and straight, attrac¬ 
tive shape, with a very rich green color, a fine lot of showy 
white spines. The color stays green for a week, making it a 
fine shipper. Many Southern cucumber growers will use no 
other, which is indeed a fine testimonial for it. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 10c; 54 lb. 25c; lb. 75c.
