“White Spine’’ and “Black Spine”’ 
“WHITE SPINE” and “BLACK SPINE” refer to the small 
prickly bristles on cucumbers. The slicers are nearly all white spine 
and hold their dark green color for a long time. The pickling types 
and bmproved Long Green are black-spined and these get yellow 
quickly if allowed to get past the market stage. 

Seed is sown in this latitude (Western New York) the middle of May 
for early slicers and up to the last of June for pickles and late cucumbers. 
A few hills in the home garden will supply an abundance of cucumbers and 
pickles. For best results the fruit should be kept picked. Early plantings 
of cucumbers will often grow better if started under HOTKAPS (see 
page 83). These plant protectors keep the soil warm and protect the seed- 
lings from frost and insects. 
COPPER-ROTENONE Controls Diseases and Insects. Cucumbers 
must be kept dusted to protect them from insects and from disease, 
such as mosaic and bacterial will which are carried by the striped 
cucumber beetle. Apply the dust lightly and evenly as soon as the 
plants appear and at regular intervals until full grown. Copper 
Rotenone is ideal for cucumbers as it also helps prevent blight. For 
spraying use Copper Spray C-O-C-S and NNOR—Rotenone 
Spray. See page 82.

in appearance and of fine quality. White Spine.
