CUCUMBER Native to the East Indies The breeding of new strains and improvement of standard varieties is carried on at our breeding grounds at Greeley, Colorado. Exceptional care is exercised in the isolation of plots to prevent hybridization. The number of days indicates the time required from planting of seed to develop fruits to first picking of slicers. The time should be reduced several days for small pickles. Our stocks of the pickling varieties are uniform, true to type and very prolific. Culture: Sandy loam, well-manured is the best soil for cucumbers. Sow seed in June after all danger of frost. Some growers prefer to plant in drills 5 to 6 feet apart to be thinned later, others plant in hills 5 to 6 feet apart each zvay. 2 pounds of seed will plant an acre. 1.
