GARDEN SEEDS 
CANTALOUPE 
Cucumbers planted in 
rich loamy soil after danger 
of frost is past will give you 
best results. Fertilizing with 
well-rotted manure will be 
beneficial. The seed may be 
planted in hills, use eight to 
ten seeds 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 de- 
sirable. Keep the cucumbers picked off 
as they reach the desired size in order 
that more fruit will set on, increasing 
STRAIGHT -8 
The Straight-8 cucumber, an ‘’All America’’ win- 
ner 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 strip- 
ing, 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.

This is a dark green slicing cucumber that has 
become popular with shippers. The A & C is a 
splendid cucumber in all particulars and can be 
especially recommended because of its very dark 
green color which makes an attractive appearance 
on the market. Its eating qualities are excellent, 
being free from any bitterness and the flesh is 
crisp and white. The fruit is straight and averages 
from 10 to 12 inches in length. We can recommend 
the A & C.

TAXPAYER 
The Taxpayer can be described as an improved 
Early Fortune, since it has many of the character- 
istics that made the Early Fortune one of the lead- 
ing cucumbers for many years. It is early in ma- 
turing, 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 character- 
ized the Early Fortune. The fruit is uniformly eight 
fo nine inches in length. We suggest that you try 
the Taxpayer.
