Early Fortune Cucumljer 
CUCUMBER 
One ounce to 50 hills; 2 pounds per acre. 
EARLY FORTUNE (64 days). Eight to 9 
inches. Early, very productive, and disease- 
resistant. Flesh white; color rich, dark 
green. Retains its deep green color longer 
than most sorts. Recognized as being one 
of the best for shipping. 
LONG GREEN —IMPROVED (70 days). 
Twelve to 14 inches. A standard late well 
known table sort. Color dark green. 
SHORT GREEN (58 days). Seven inches, 
medium in size and earliness. Good for 
pickling and slicing. 
EARLY GREEN CLUSTER (55 days). 
Fruit short chunky and small and borne in 
clusters. 
A. and C. (60 days). A new introduction. 
Spines white; vines healthy, robust and re¬ 
sistant to disease, producing cucumbers 
about 10 inches long, not quite so large in 
diameter as Early Fortune. Will retain their 
greenness longer than most any other va¬ 
riety. We recommend this new cucumber 
as one of great merit. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
When planting roots for the permanent 
bed the soil should be worked to a depth of 
16 or 18 inches and a liberal dressing of 
stable manure or peat moss and a good fer¬ 
tilizer applied. Make trenches about 4 inches 
deep and 6 inches wide and place the roots, 
crown up, about 2 feet apart. Leave the 
roots at least 4 feet apart. With care, a 
bed of 500 square feet, requiring about 100 
roots, will amply provide for an average 
family for 8 or 10 years.

35c; 25 for 60c; 50 for $1.10; 100 for $2.00.

sweet and tender.
