34 BURPEE’S SUNNYBROOK CUCUMBERS 
Our dark — green 
streamliner for mod- 
ern market and 
shipping; 
itis trimand 
slender, with 
good keeping 
qualities. 














60 days. Burpee’s Sun- 
nybrook is an outstanding 
cucumber of the long, slen- 
der, dark green, white spine type 
with stripes absent or inconspicuous 
for considerably less than 1% its length. 
Whether used for pickling when small, or for slicing 
when fully grown, Burpee’s Sunnybrook is a valuable 
cucumber for the home garden, local markets and 
distant shipping. Fruits are 9 to 11 in. in length and 2 to 2% in. in diameter when mature, tapering symmetrically 
toward either end; flesh is firm and thick with few seeds. 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 for its many good features. 
400 Davis’ Perfect — crisp and tender 
58 days. Shapely white spine cucumber, 9 to 10 in. long and 2 to 
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 cul- 
ture. Heavy producer. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 25¢; 14 lb. 80¢; 1 Ib. $1.45.

Hou to 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 commer- 
cial fertilizer are usually beneficial. Plant in hills 4 or 5 ft. apart, placing 8 to 10 
seeds in each hill, and cover with 4 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; 
2 Ibs. for one acre. If seed is drilled, one acre requires about 4 lbs. of seed. Con- 
trol cucumber insects with Red Arrow Garden Spray and Slug Shot Dust.
