CUCUMBERS-Gurke 



Plant as soon as the weather becomes settled in hills four feet apart each way, with eight or ten seeds in each 

 hill, cover half an inch deep, smoothing the hill off with the hoe. Keep the soil well stirred, and when the plants are 

 out of danger of insects leave three or four plants to the hill. For pickles, plant from the first of June to the first of 

 August. The fruit should be gathered when large enough, whether required for use or not, as, if left to ripen on 

 the vines, it destroys their productive uses. 



Evergreen Extra Long "White Spine. — This is a strain 

 of "White Spine Cucumber 'with longer fruit than the old 

 type. The Cucumbers grow ten inches long and are 

 straight and handsome and of fine quality, and retain 

 their green color for a long time. -Matures a little later 

 than the early strain, but the fruit is larger and hand- 

 somer. One of the best varieties. Oz. 10c; % lb. 25c; 

 lb. 75c.

Klondike. — Of recent introduction, has already become 

 a favorite with market gardeners and shippers all over 

 the country. The vines are very thrifty, blight resisting 

 and s\ire setting. They bear profusely and continually 

 when other varieties have died away. The handsome 

 dark green cucumbers average seven inches long and 

 two inches in diameter, and demand the highest price 

 when, offered on any market. Pkt. 5c: oz. 10c; *4 lb.

Klondike. 



Xew Davis Perfect. — This new variety has several 

 points of exceptional merit to its credit — extreme earli- 

 ness, dark green color, regular in size and very prolific 

 It is almost seedless one-third of the length from the 

 stem end, is unsurpassed for slicing and resembles very 

 closely a hothouse Cucumber. Oz. 10c; % lb. 25c; lb. 90c 



Mr. Jos. Plunimer, Raspburg, Md., a very close-observ- 

 ing market gardener, says: I planted your Klondike and 

 Mavis Perfection Cucumbers for the past two seasons on 

 the same field in competition with my own seed, and gave 

 all a like treatment. A marked difference could be noticed 

 from the start. The Klondike set the fruit earlier than 

 the Davis Perfect, and kept on bearing fruit to the last. 

 The fruit of the Davis Perfect is about one and one-half 

 inches longer than the Klondike, but the latter will out- 

 yield all other varieties. 



Evergreen "White Spine. 



Cumberland. — This new pickling variety was produced 

 by a cross between White Spine and Paris Pickling. It 

 combines the slim, straight shapes, fine spines and crisp 

 flesh of the Paris Pickling with the vigor and productive- 

 ness of the White Spine. The fruit is covered with fine 

 spines except at the stem end. It makes a very fine 

 quality of pickles, being of best shape, and good deep 

 green and crisp. The vines are healthy and productive. 

 Oz. 5c; % lb. 15c; lb. 50c. 



Early Cyclone. — It is not only the earliest Cucumber in 

 cultivation, being fully two weeks ahead of White Spine, 

 but it is of the desirable White Spine type, being shorter, 

 thicker and holding better its deep green color than any 

 other early Cucumber in cultivation. It is very prolific 

 and grows its fruit in bunches of threes and fours, of 

 uniform size and shape. A single hill will sometimes pro- 

 duce from 10 to 12 shapely Cucumbers. Pkt. 5c; *4 lb. 

 20c; lb. 75c. 



Boston Pickling, or Green Prolific. — Its characteristics 

 are its uniform growth, seldom yielding Cucumbers too 

 large for pickling, and its immense productiveness. Pkt. 

 5c; % lb. 20c; lb. 60c. 



Jersey Pickle. — In size between the Half Long and 

 Long Green, and is used extensively by pickle growers, 

 being productive and of deep green color. Pkt. 5c; Vt
