CORN SALAD 
VAEERIANNT (It.) 
SEED CORN TREATMENT 
REDUCES DISEASE DAM¬ 
AGE. Seed disinfection with Im¬ 
proved Semesan, Jr., will help 
greatly to prevent damage by dis¬ 
eases to the roots, stalks and the 
ears of field and sweet Corn. It 
protects seed against rotting, per¬ 
mits earlier planting, increases 
germination, controls blight and 
increases crop yields. 
An excellent salad for winter and spring. The seed is sown in August or Sep¬ 
tember, in drills 1 foot apart. Press on the soil to make it firm and it will germi¬ 
nate better. As freezing weather approaches, cover with straw or coarse litter. 
Seed can also be sown very early in the spring if on rich soil. 
132 EARGE SEEDED. Round leaved, the best variety.

GURKEN (Ger.) 
CUCUMBERS 
CETRIOEO (It.) 
One ounce plants 50 hills; two pounds to one acre. Plant in April or May for 
early crop; ready for the table 50 to 75 days from planting. 
Culture. Rich soil or one containing plenty of well-rotted manure is best; hence 
hills are usually made about 4 feet apart using manure or sheep manure well mixed 
with the soil. For very earliest crop the seed may be started in hotbeds, in pots, small paper boxes, or pieces of sod, grass 
side down, so that they can be readily transplanted to open ground without disturbing the roots. For earliest crop outdoors 
plant 8 to 10 seeds in hills or drills 4 feet apart. On cold nights or threatened frost they can be protected by pieces of paper 
weighted with earth ; after danger of frost and destruction by insects, thin the plants to about four to the hill. For late crop 
plant from the end of May until July. Cultivate occasionally, keeping the grass and weeds out, and when the fruit is ready 
for use, pick whether wanted or not, as it will extend the life and productiveness of the vines. 
133 STRAIGHT EIGHT. 1935 All America Gold Medal 
Award. One of the finest new Cucumbers which has been 
offered in many years. As its name indicates, it grows very 
straight; a long slender fruit with a slight taper at each 
end. At the edible stage, the length averages about 8 inches 
and the color is a rich dark green. This is a very attractive 
Cucumber and the fine quality makes it an excellent sort 
for slicing.
