CUCUMBERS 1 Oz. Will Plant 50 Hills. 2 libs. Will Plant an Acre. For very early Cucumbers sow the first of April in a hotbed upon pieces of sod (grass side down), so that they can be readily transplanted to the open ground in rich soil when danger of frost is over, or protect by hand-glasses. The vines require a warm location for early Cucumbers. Plant after the ground has become warm in hills 4 feet apart for the smaller varieties, and 5 feet for the larger sort. For pickling sow from middle of June to last of July. Manure with wood ashes, fertilizer or some well-rotted compost, working the manure just under the surface. Sprinkle the vines with slug-shot plaster, or air-slaked lime to protect from bugs. The Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use, whether required or not; if left to ripen, it destroys their productiveness. Early Green Prolific A very productive variety, having fruits of good length and handsome form. Desirable for producing pickles of me- dium size and fine quality when sliced for the table. Ever-Bearing Cucumber This variety is unique, and will prove valuable both for the table and for pickling. Is of small size, very early, enormously productive and extremely valuable as a green pickler. The peculiar merit of this new Cucumber is that the vines continue to flower and produce fruit until killed by frost, whether the ripe Cucumbers are picked oft or not, in which respect it differs from all other sorts in cultivation. IMPROVED : WHITE SPINE This is the best Cucumber for early planting, because it will retain its green color longer than any other sort. It is of good size and shape, and the popular variety with truckers around Baltimore and Norfolk, as well as the growers from Virginia to Florida.
