The Colorado 
Our cucumber seeds are all Colorado grown, and will 
produce heavy crops—besides being dealers in seeds, we 
are Colorado’s largest shipper of vegetables. 
Culture; Cucumbers prefer a heavy loam. After danger 
of frost has passed, plant the seed % inch deep in rows 
4 feet apart. Drill about 3 pounds seed to the acre and 
when plants have 4 or 5 leaves, thin to 1 plant every 18 
inches. Cultivate often and irrigate about once a week. 
Keep the cucumbers picked as fast as they reach the size 
desired. If fruits are allowed to remain on the vine, the 
vines cease to bear fruit.
