Improved Arlington White Spine. 



Improved Arlington White Spine.— This is without ex- 

 ception the most profitable Cucumber for truckers' cultiva- 

 tion. It is one of the earliest, most shapely and productive 

 varieties of this type ; of a rich green color throughout its 

 entire length, straight and symmetrical. X lb. 15c. Lb. 50c. 



New Klondike. — After extensive trials, we consider this 

 one of the best market and shipping varieties now known. 

 It is very hardy and prolific, setting fruit close to the hill. 

 This handsome fruit is of a dark green color measuring 6 

 to 7 inches long, the ends are quite square and are about 2 

 inches thick. It is very early and will produce a fair crop 

 when others fail. A trial will convince you of claims set 

 forth. Oz. 10c. X lb. 25c. Lb. 75c. 



Early Green Cluster. — A short, prickly variety, bearing 

 clusters ; prolific ; fine for bottle pickles. Pkt. 5c. 

 X lb. 10c. Lb. 40c. 



Boston Pickling, or Green Prolific. — Its characteristics are 

 its uniform growth, seldom yielding Cucumbers too large for 

 pickling, and its immense productiveness. Pkt. 5c. 

 X lb. 15c. Lb. 50c. 



Jersey Pickle. — In size between the Half Long and Long 

 Green, and is used extensively by pickle growers, being pro- 

 ductive and of deep green color. Pkt. 5c. %. lb. 15c. Lb. 40c.

Long Green. — Our carefully selected strain, under favor- 

 able conditions, produces fruit averaging from 12 to 16 in. 

 in length. Skin a deep rich green, flesh solid, crisp and of 

 excellent quality. Pkt. 5c. % lb. 20c. Lb. 60c. 



Half Long. — Medium size, green and well formed.. 

 Pkt. 5c. X lb. 15c. Lb. 40c. 



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 produce from 10 to 12 

 shapely Cucumbers. Pkt. 5c. X lb. 20c. Lb. 60c. 



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. 



Early White Spine. — Medium size, green and well formed ; 

 one of the best for early market. Pkt. 5c. X lb- 15c. 

 Lb. 50c. 



Cumberland. — This new pickling variety was produced by 

 a cross between White Spine and Paris Pickling. It com- 

 bines the slim straight shapes, fine spines and crisp flesh of 

 the Paris Pickling with the vigor and productiveness 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, good deep green and crisp. The vines 

 are healthy and productive. Oz. 5c. X lb- 15c. Lb. 50c. 



Japanese Climbing. — Vines extra strong, vigorous ; being 

 a climbing sort can be grown on trellises, etc., valuable in 

 small gardens. Very prolific, from 40 to 50 having been 

 counted on single plants. Fruit long, round, of fine flavor. 

 Pkt. 5c. X lb. 25c. Lb. 75c. 



Gherkins, or Burr. — Very small, quite distinct from all 

 others. It is grown exclusively for pickling, and should be 

 picked when young and tender. Pkt. 5c and 10c. X lb. 25c. 

 Lb. 75c. 



The Emerald. 



The Emerald retains every good point in the best strains 

 of White Spine, and in addition, possesses that rich dark 

 green color which has so long been sought for, but never 

 before obtained. It is strictly an evergreen, retaining its 

 color until fully ripe. Pkt. 5c. X lb. 15c. Lb. 50c. 



New Davis Perfect. — This new variety has several points 

 of exceptional merit to its credit: — extreme earliness, dark 

 green color, regular in size, and very prolific. It is almost 

 seedless one-third of the length from the stem end, is un- 

 surpassed for slicing, and resembles very closely a hot-house 

 Cucumber. Oz. 10c X lb. 25c. Lb. 75c. 



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 handsomer. One of the best 

 varieties. Oz. 10c. X lb. 20c. Lb. 60c.
