IMPROVED EARLY WHITE SPINE. One of the most popular 
varieties, both for marketing and table use. Vines vigorous, fruiting early 
and abundantly, fruit uniformly straight and handsome, light green, with 
a few white spines, flesh crisp and of fine flavor. Largely grown for 
forcing, and extensively grown in the South for shipping to the Northern 
markets early in the season. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 lb., 55ce. lb. 
(See cut No. 6.) 
LIVINGSTON’S EVERGREEN. This new variety is proving of great 
value. It is very hardy, and probably the most prolific of all varieties. 
In addition to being so wonderfully prolific, it is very early, and the 
cucumbers retain their beautiful 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. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 lb., 55c. lb. 
NEW EVER-BEARING. The peculiar merit of this variety lies in the 
fact that the vines flower and produce fruit continuously until killed by 
frost. They exhibit at the same time cucumbers in every stage of growth, 
but invariably, of perfect form, even when very small. The cucumbers { 
are of a fine green color, and are desirable for pickling. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 
20c. 14 lb., 60ce. Ib. 
|| NICHOL’S MEDIUM GREEN. Weconsider this a most valuable variety. 
Asapicklesortit will be found unequaled, and for early forcing, or slicing, 
there is no better. It is exceedingly productive, of medium-size, and 
always straight and smooth. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20¢. 14 lb., 55e.

they have long desired. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 lb., 60c. 1b. 
(See cut No. 5.) 
LONG GREEN. Long fruit of excellent quality. Dark green, 
firm and crisp. 5c. pkt.,10c. oz., 20c. 14 Ib., 55e. Ib. 
JAPANESE CLIMBING. While all cucumbers are running 
vines, yet this variety is much more creeping, or climbing, in its 
habit, so much so that it quickly climbs on poles or trellises in 
the same manneras the Pole Lima Bean. It is entirely distinct. 
The quality is splendid. It is well adapted for pickling, as well 
as for slicing for salads. The great advantage of having a 
cucumber which can be trained on a pole or a fence will be 
apparent to all. 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. 14 lb., $1.25 lb.

sent for a package of Japanese Climbing Cucumbers, of which I have 
planted a few hills every spring, and find them strictly first-class in every 
particular. One great feature is that a hillrequires no more space than 
a hill of beans.”
