selection.»:;Packet, 5c. Ounce, 10c. Quarter Pound, 15c. Half Pound, 20c. Pound, 40c.

em Half Long Cucumber (Private Stock.)—For pickles a Cucumber of medium length, nicely pro- 
portioned, is always preferred for home use and at pickling houses. If the pickle suits the eye as to size and 
symmetry it finds ready sale. Our half-long is such a cucumber. It is remarkably productive and holds its 
deep color. Packet, 5c. Ounce, 10c. Quarter Pound, 15c. Pound, 30ce. 
we —=Livingston’s Evergreen.—This new variety is proving of great value. It is very hardy and prob- 
ably the most prolific of all varieties. In addition to being so wonderfully prolific it is very early, and the 
cucumbers retain their beautifully green color longer than any other sort. It is one of the very best varieties 
for slicing, as it is very crisp and of good quality, and as it produces fruits of medium size it is likely to be of 
much value for pickling purposes. Packet, 5c. ounce, 10c. quarter pound, lic. half pound, 20c. pound, 40c, | 
iF mproved Long Green.—The standard all-around variety. It makes an excellent fruit for slicing. 
Quality crisp and delicious. The smaller fruits are used for pickling and the larger ones can be allowed to 
ripen for preserving. Packets, 5 and 10c. Quarter Pound, 1l5c. Half Pound, 20c. Pound, 40c. 
IMPROVED . 
JERSEY 
Improved Jersey Pickle.—Because of its size and beautiful deep green color this has become the 
preferred kind with pickle growers and packers. It is mediumin length, very shapely, prolific and holds its 
color. Packet, 5c. Ounce, 1i0c. Quarter Pound, 15c. Pound, 30c. 
Culture.—For the growth of Cucumbers hills are raised, standing five feet apart. Quite rich, sandy soil 
is the best. Enrich the hills with a strong, rotten manure. For early use plant in May, for pickling plant in 
June and July. Eight or ten seeds should be allowed to each hill, as the young plants are often destroyed by bugs.

I bought good seed from you last Fall, which were very satisfactory. ; er:
