(Cucumbors 
CucuMBkrs planted in rich loamy soil after danger of frost is past will give you best results. 
Fertilization with well-rotted manure will be beneficial. The seed may be planted in hills or 
drill rows about four feet apart, and covered with one inch of soil. Three pounds will plant 
a drilled acre. If planted in hills, use eight to ten seed to the hill, and when the plants have 
four or five leaves, thin out, leaving the three or four strongest plants to the hill. Frequent 
cultivations are desirable. Keep the cucumbers picked off as they reach the desired size in 
order that more fruit will set on, increasing your yield. Bordeaux mixture is used as a spray 
for many foliage diseases. Several different dusts are on the market for controlling the 
striped cucumber beetle. 
STRAIGHT-8 
THE STRAIGHT-8 CUCUMBER, an “All America’ winner in 1935, is an outstanding variety. 
This white spine is one of the finest slicing cucumbers on the market. It is deep green in 
color, free from striping, symmetrical in shape with well rounded ends. The Straight-8 is 
about two inches in diameter and eight inches in length. The vines are vigorous and very 
productive. We believe this variety to be one of the best that we offer.

The Taxpayer cucumber. 
TAXPAYER 
THE TAXPAYER can be described as an improved Early Fortune, since it has many of the 
characteristics that made the Early Fortune one of the leading cucumbers for many years. 
It is early in maturing, is an excellent shipper, and is mild in flavor. The Taxpayer is an 
improvement over the Early Fortune in its coloring, which is an attractive dark green, carried 
around the tip of the fruit. It does not have the light striping that characterized the Early 
Fortune. The fruit is uniformly eight to nine inches in length. We suggest that you try 
the Taxpayer.
