Commercial catalogs Seeds; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Garden tools Catalogs. 10 Wm. C. Beckert's List of Select Vegetable Seeds, Pittsburg, CUCUMBERS (Surfe) The seed cannot be planted in the open ground before the weather has become warm and settled, and the ground mellow and light. Plant the seeds in well-enriched hills about 4 feet apart each way, and as soon as all danger from insects is over thin the plants to leave four of the strongest in each hill. For succession, sow at intervals of every two weeks until midsummer. Extra-early crops are grown by planting the seed in hotbeds in April, upon pieces of sod turned upside down, and removing them to hills in open ground as soon as the weather is warm enough. For pickles, sow seed from the middle of June until the middle of July. The vines bear longer if the fruits are gathered as soon as they are large enough; their strength is soon exhausted by ripening fruits. An ounce of seed will plant 100 hills; two pounds will plant an acre. FORCING WHITE SPINE. A selected strain of White Spine. Fruits large, green, medium thick; holds its color well.
