CUCUMBERS 1 oz. to 100 Iiills. 2 to 3 lbs. to the acre in hills. Cultnre—Do not sow Cucumber Seed in cold soil. Should you want an early crop, start them in flower pots in the hot-bed or indoors, placing five seeds in each and thin out to three plants when well up. When fairly well rooted, transplant into the open, being careful not to disturb the roots as they are very tender. Before moving them they must be hardened off well and the ground must be fairly warm, and if you have a small window-light handy place it over the plants, mounting same on stones or stakes; this helps to w^arm the soil. An excellent method of getting a good crop is to place a shovelful of well rotted manure in each hill. Several varieties should be grown, the short-fruited, more prolific sorts for pickling, and the long varie- ties for table use. Plant the hills 4 feet apart. Always pick the fruit when large enough or the vitality of the plant will be- come impaired. EARLY FORTUIVE—A recent introduction and Is considered the finest market cucumber of the AVhite Spine type. The fruits measure 9 inches long and are slightly tapering. The thick flesh is pure white, firm, and unusually crisp, with very few seeds. The fruits are of a rich, dark green color, which does not fade when shipped to distant markets. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; Vi lb. 45c; lb. $ DAVIS PERFECT—Unequalled in quality, shape and color, for forcing indoors, or for outside growing. The color is a dark, glossy green, shape slim and symmetrical, with an average length of 10 to 12 inches. It is as early as White Spine, a strong grower, and very prolific. It is a splendid shipper and retains its excellent quality and brittleness long after being cut. Pkt.
