CUCUMBER ‘‘THE VAUGHAN” 
Vegetables for Greenhouse Forcing 
Many florists plan to devote some greenhouse space to vegetable 
growing this winter. Reasons for this are numerous, among them the 
fact that vegetable growing takes less labor, and is done in cooler 
houses, economizing on fuel. 
Demand for greenhouse vegetables is expected to be increased by 
shipping difficulties and reduced production in the south and west, 
which will lessen supplies from those centers. 
We have long specialized in selected strains of vegetables for green- 
house culture. Such strains are necessary, because conditions are 
radically different and varieties bred for outdoor gardens cannot be 
depended upon to succeed in the greenhouse. We list the items most 
widely grown, and invite inquiry for others which you may wish to 
produce. 
Forcing Cucumbers 
The Vaughan: Our best greenhouse forcing cucumber. Very large, 
excellent slicer, a first quality table variety. Compared to other 
long white spine types, it is much darker, more uniform in shape 
and size, thinner and more prolific. It is the ideal American forcing 
variety, as well as the longest outdoor sort. Pkt., 20; oz., 50c; 
Y% Ib., $1.50.
