CUCUMBERS 
One package of seed will sow 15 hills; 1 ounce 50 hills. 
Cucumbers should be raised in every home garden. They can be grown to perfection with 
ordinary care. Plant seed when danger from frost is over, an inch deep in hills 4 to 6 feet apart 
each way, dropping 8 to 10 seeds in a hill. 
When second set of leaves has formed, thin to 4 
plants to a hill. Cultivate thoroughly until runners make this impossible. If plants are attacked 
by beetles, spray with Bordeaux or arsenate of lead. Wash fruits thoroughly before eating when 
these sprays are used. 
A and C. The most popular Cucumber in the 
East both with the commercial grower and the 
home gardener. An outstanding kind for ship- 
ping on account of its deep green color which 
is retained for an unusually long time after 
picking—a feature especially desirable for 
those who send their Cucumbers to market. 
This white-spined Cucumber grows about 10 
inches long and 24 inches thick. The fruits

quality. Flesh is crisp and of very delicious 
flavor. Pkg. 10c; oz. 25c; Y% Ib. 85c

cylinder-shaped and about 8 inches long. The

firm and pure white. Very vigorous and very 
heavy bearing. We have heard some very com- 
plimentary things said about Cubit this past

If you did not have some in your garden last 
year we urge you to try this kind the coming 
season. Pkg. 15c; oz. 45c

Leave those vegetables you'are going 
to store for the winter out in the garden 
as long as possible without danger of

Avoid bruising vegetables you plan to store. 
Put away only the more perfect ones. Use the 
others quickly. 
Mature, hard-ripe vegetables store the best.
