| CUCUMBER
(Cucumis sativus) 25-35 seeds per packet. Originally an East Indian crop, but spread to other parts of Asia and Europe long ago. Best direct-seeded at about the time of last frost, but can be started earlier as transplants, provided the seedlings are set out before becoming rootbound. Cucumbers are heavy feeders and thrive in rich soil full of organic matter. They can be trellised if desired. A bit of afternoon shade is helpful in very hot summer-areas. Supply abundant moisture and keep mature fruit picked.

Crystal Apple
New!
Small 3" oval fruit are a bright, creamy white, about the
size of a small apple, and sweet, mild and very tender.
This variety has become almost extinct in America after
being introduced here from Australia around the year
1930 from Arthur Yates and Co. But this type of cucumber
is likely to have originated in China. The small fruit
are so tender you can eat them skin and all.
