374 BURPEE’S SUNNYBROOK CUCUMBERO 
60 days. An outstanding variety of the long, slender, dark green cucumber type which has recently 
gained much popularity among both small and large growers. Whether used for pickling when small, 
or for slicing when fully grown, Burpee’s Sunnybrook is a valuable cucumber for the home garden, 
for local markets and for distant shipping. Fruits are white spined, 12 in. in length and 3 in. in 
diameter when mature, tapering toward the stem end, and the extremely dark color is maintained for 
a long time after picking. As the seeds form late in the season, the edible period is longer than that 
of most varieties. We highly recommend Sunnybrook. Pkt. 15¢; oz. 35¢; 14 Ib. $1.25; 1% Ib. $2.30. 
400 Davis’ Perfect 
58 days. Shapely white spine cucumber, 10 in. long and 
2% in. thick in the middle, slightly tapering at both ends. 
The skin is a rich deep green and the flesh is pure white, 
solid, brittle, and tasty. Its eating qualities are excellent, 
due to its thickness and the lack of seeds. Retains its color 
for a long time after being picked; this makes it valuable for 
market and shipping as well as for home use. Davis’ Perfect 
is also adapted for greenhouse culture. Heavy producer. 
Pkt. 10¢; oz. 25¢; 14 lb. 80¢; 1% Ib. $1.45. 
410 Burpee’s White Wonder 
58 days. While this is a most interesting variety, it also 
is a first-class cucumber of highest quality. The fruits are 
pure white from the time they begin to form and remain 
white until ripe; 8 in. long and 3 in. thick. Desirable for 
pickles or slicing; it has the same flavor as green cucumbers.

Mincu 
HAow Ae. Grow Cucumbers 
Make your first sowing of cucumbers after all danger of frost has passed to supply fruits for summer use, and a 
second sowing in late June or early July to furnish cucumbers for fall use and pickling. They succeed best in a 
fertile, light, well-drained soil. Well-rotted manure in the hills and a side-dressing of commercial fertilizer are 
usually beneficial. Plant in hills 4 or 5 ft. apart, placing 8 to 10 seeds in each hill, and cover with % in. of soil. 
When plants are 6 to 8 in. high, thin to 3 or 4 plants toa hill. One pkt. of seed will plant 15 hills; 1 oz. 50 hills; 
> Ibs. for one acre. If seed is drilled, one acre requires about 4 lbs of seed. Control cucumber insects with Red 
._ ‘ow Garden Spray and Slug Shot Dust. Treat seed with Cuprocide. See page 125 for explanation of white 
spine and black spine cucumbers; these terms refer to the color of the over-ripe fruit.
