New Early : 
For you thousands of new friends receiving our catalog for the first 
time, we repeat the following experience we told in last year’s catalog: 
See this Little Garden Patch of Cucumbers 
Well, this is its interesting story: It is one row 60 feet long 
of the New Hybrid Cucumber Surecrop. Five packets of 
seed, which cost $1, were planted in the row, 5 seeds every 
3 feet, covered 114 to 2 inches. A 4-foot space was left 
vacant on each side of the row for spreading of vines, 
Dusted every week with our No. 75 Dust. And here 
is the rest of the story: 25 bushel baskets of 
the most perfect Cucumbers were picked 
from this little patch. It pays and it 
saves to have a garden. We noticed the 
large, low-price chain stores were selling
