Cucumber Do not try to grow Cucumbers in poorly prepared ground. Make low, Hat hills from four to six feet apart, each hill two or tliree feet across, and thoroughly pul- verized sixteen to eighteen inches deep. Mix a large shovelful of rotten manure in the soil or each hill and plant rrom six to eight seeds in each, as some are apt to fail. If bugs appear, dust with slug shot or with lime and soot. Allow no fruit to ripen on vines. For pickles and late Cucumbers, seed can be sown as late as July. Childs' Early Beauty â A most remarkable and valuable early Cucumber of recent introduction. It is a sport Trom Early Siberian and has that variety's great value as a cropper. It is as early as Extra Early Russian, though twice as large as that variety, and keeps its lively green color to a very late state of growth and will supplant all other early sorts, such as Siberian, Russian, Green Proline. Thorium's Everbearing, etc., Tor it is not only earlier, but larger and much liner in every respect. It is even so fine that it has been called Early 'White Spine, though it has no relation to that superb variety. Pkt., luc; 20c; lb., $ Childs' Ivory MonarchâAn ivory-white Cucumber, grow- ing nearly two reet in lengtli and weighing five or six pounds. Six times larger than any other sort. It is really a monster, and when half-grown is exceedinglv fine in quality. Its enormous size, great beauty and oddity make it one of the ilnest vegetables for exhibition at rairs, and it never rails to capture first prize. Its flesh is thick and solid, with very small seed cavity, and notwithstanding its size, it has rewer seeds than any other Cucumber we ever saw. Pkt., 10; oz., 50c. Thorburn's Ever
