Gurken (Gcr.) CUCUMBERS Cetriolo (It.) 
A packet of seed will plant 20 hills; an ounce about 80 hills or sow 50 feet of row. About 2 lbs. of seed per acre. 
Seed is sown in this latitude (Western New York) the middle of May 
for early slicers and last of June for pickles and late cucumbers. 
The white spined varieties retain their green color even when ripe, 
while the black spined kinds turn yellow when mature. A few hills in the 
home garden will supply an abundance of cucumbers and pickles. For 
best results the fruit should be kept picked. It is important that the 
young vines be kept free from insects, especially the striped cucumber 
beetle. We recommend dusting with Sulrote (see page 87) as soon as the 
plants appear above ground and at regular intervals until the vines 
become full grown. 
HARRIS’ PERFECTION. The B ® st f ° r s,icin s- If you 
- want a long deep green cucumber 
try this kind. We regard Harris’ Perfection as the best cucumber in 
this class both for home use and market. The fruit is dark green with 
fine white rays at the blossom end, giving it a very attractive appear¬ 
ance. It is crisp, solid and of the finest quality and retains its color for a 
long time after being picked. 
We have grown this cucumber for many years and by careful selec¬ 
tion have obtained a strain that is more uniform than any similar 
variety we know of. The fruit is about 8 in. long when ready to pick 
and will average over 12 inches in length when mature. 
The attractive appearance, deep green color and uniformity of size 
make these cucumbers sell for a premium on the market and roadside 
stands.

EARLY FORTUNE. One of the earliest and best of the white spine 
varieties. The fruit is about 7 inches long, tapering only slightly toward 
each end. This variety is excellent for market and pickles as it holds 
the deep green color well after picking. It is also very valuable for 
shipping. The vines are vigorous, healthy and productive. Our stock 
is very true.
