NOTES ON VARIETIES. 



Albino is late, but the plants are strong growing and productive. It is 

 an excellent sort to furnish small, white pickles. The variety is also good 

 for table use because of its delicate flavor. A most desirable white sort 

 for pickles or table use. 



Emerald. The plants are of strong growth but scarcely so productive 

 as many others. Fruits much the shape of Arlingfon White Spine, but 

 later in maturing and without spines. Color, a rich, light green. An 

 excellent sort for large, late pickles and for slicing purposes, because the 

 fruits remain a long time in condition before ripening. 



Eskimoso. Plants are of small growth and fruits are borne close to hill . 

 The fruits closely resemble Russian in form, but the season is several days 

 r^arlier. Excellent for small, early pickles, because of the firm flesh, its 

 excellent quality and the late development of the seeds; also one of the 

 best early slicing sorts. 



Market Garden is one of the best slicing sorts on account of the strong 

 growing, very productive plants, and its length of season for producing 

 fruits. 



Persian lacks quality. Is of no practical value.
