CUCUMBER 
Cucumbers flourish best in rich loamy soil. When the 
weather has become warm plant in hills 4 to 5 feet apart 
each way, putting 10 to 12 seeds ina hill. As the plants 
appear above the surface they should be diligently watched 
and protected from insects. Rotenone dust will be found 
very effective. When well started thin to 4 plants to a 
hill. Fruits should not be left on the vines to ripen as this 
diminishes productiveness. Later plantings may be made 
until June.

SEED SHORTAGE In spite of increased plantings and 
careful planning for ample seed crops the supply of seed 
this season is short. Unfavorable weather, destruction 
by insects and disease and lack of labor have reduced so 
many crops throughout the country that there is no 
surplus of any in portant variety. There may have to be 
some changes in the varieties planted, but we believe 
no one need go without seed. 
We have made prices as low as increased cost of pro- 
duction and the extreme scarcity of some kinds will per- 
mit. We have not lessened our effort to maintain and 
even improve the quality of the strains upon which our 
reputation is based. It is advisable to order early to be 
sure of getting the varieties you want and to allow time 
for delay in transportation. Prices will be maintained 
as printed so far as possible, but our supplies may be 
exhausted and we may have to make changes of price 
without notice.
