CUCUMBERS 
One package of seed will sow 25 hills; 1 ounce about 100 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 six seeds in a hill. When second set of leaves has formed, thin to 3 plants to 
a hill. 
Cultivate thoroughly until runners make this impossible. 
If plants are attacked by beetles, spray with Bordeaux, arsenate of lead, or use 
one of the new DDT sprays or dusts. Make a second sowing of seed about 5 weeks later to furnish you with Cucumbers and pickles for preserving. 
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 2% inches thick. The fruits 
are straight and shapely and of very high 
put Flesh is crisp and of very delicious 
avor. 
Chicago Pickling. An old favorite kind that 
is ready for picking in 58 days. Valuable .for 
pickling as they are enormously productive.

Cubit. All-America Bronze Medal for 1944. 
A splendid home and market garden kind, 
cylinder-shaped and about 8 inches long. The 
ends are blunt, making it an ideal slicing fruit. 
The skin is lustrous dark green and the flesh 
firm and pure white. Very vigorous and very 
heavy bearing. We have heard some very com- 
plimentary things said about Cubit this past 
fall. Many experienced gardeners pronounced 
it the finest Cucumber they had ever grown. 
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; 4 Ib. $1.25

that grows about 10 inches long and 3 inches 
in diameter. Very uniform in shape and size. 
Smooth very dark green skin and firm white 
flesh that remains crisp and seedless for a very 
long time. The par fault with Deltus is that 
it is not a heavy bearer.

small sweet or sour pickles will want to grow
