R— [ 8 [ & i *AGE TWO. ‘THE EVENINJ TELEGERAM, LAY ELAND, FLA., NOV. 25, 1912. e e Cucumbers From Flosida in the extrcme scuth and northward throughout tihe whole trucking area along the Atlantic Coast the cucumber has be- ccme one of the leading and staple trucking crops. The character of the fruit and the condition in whica it is demanded in the northern mar- keis enables it to be easily shipped by rapid transportation, and from Ilorida especially at a time of year vhen elsewhere it cannot be suc- cessfully grown in the open. The three main essentials for successful growing are (1) rich mellow soil, (2) plenty of available water, and (3) the spray pump. Varieties—The Perfected White Spine seems to be the most accepted variety for the markets, both local and northern. The English Tele- graph is the finest variety of all, but for this there is a very limited de- mund, being chiefly hot-house groewn, More should be grown of this vaericty for home consumption, bt for shipping the chicf objection ig its length; it does not fit or pack vwell in the crates. Soil - Whether on new old lunud, the soil must be made as mei- lew and rich s possible. Above all, it must be warm and capable of re- taining its moisture, but gocd druin-! age is imperative. A dark sandy | loam is to be preferred, but if prop-' erly enriched a lizht sandy loam | will produce an abundance of fruiz. ! Fertilizer—The cucumber s l; rich feeder and likes plenty of ni- trogen.
