ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE SEED 
Cucumbers 
Cucumbers planted in rich loamy soil after danger of frost is past will give you best results. Fer- 
tilization 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 characterisncs 
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.
