IMPROVED EARLY WHITE SPINE. One of the most popu- 
lar varieties, both for marketing and table use. Vines vigorous, 
fruiting early and abundantly, fruit uniformly straight and hand- 
somé, 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.

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 pro- 
‘duces fruits of medium size it is likely to be of much value for 
Peeing purposes. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 lb., 55c. Ib. 
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 
yare desirable for pickling. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 1b., 60e. lb. 
WNICHOL’S MEDIUM GREEN. We consider this a most valu- 
“able variety. Asa pickle sort it 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.

“EXTRA HARLY GREEN PROLIFIC. Same as a good stock of 
Green Prolific, but from ten days to two weeks earlier. Those who 
grow exclusively for pickling will find in this something they

firm and crisp. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 Ib., 55¢. 1b. 
JAPANESE CLIMBING. While all cucumbers are running vines, 
* yet this variety is much more creeping. or climbing, in its habit, 
so muck so that it quickly climbs on poles or trellises in the same 
manner as 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.

Extra Early! Exceedingly Prolific! Bears the whole season! 
The cut gives a good idea of the shape of this valuable variety. 
It will be noticed that it is inclined to taper off at the stem-end, 
ENDERSON’S 
GUGUMBER AND 
ORISP. 
and is generally a little pointed at the other end also. This is the 
most desirable shape for pickles. The cucumbers are straight, 
long, even and slim, and until they reach their full size they are 
of a very dark green color, so dark that it might almost be called 
“black.” The peculiar feature of this variety is the knobs or pro- 
tuberances, upon which the spines are placed, are prominent at all 
stages of growth, giving the cucumber a very attractive appear- 
ance. This variety is the earliest and most prolific of all pickling cu- 
cumbers, and is certain to become a standard sort. While primarily 
a pickling variety, it is one of the very best for slicing, the cucum- 
bers, when fully matured, being of good size and exceedingly tender 
and crisp. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. 14 lb., 80c. lb. 
“T must say a few words in regard to your ‘ Cool and Crisp’ Cucumber. It is a 
very superior variety. I started the seeds in a cold frame, and had them early, 
and they continued to bear the whole season until frost killed the vines. I never 
saw such a bearer, and, considering the dry season, it astonished everybody.” 
JAMES L. BALMER, Marysville, Mich. 
“T cheerfully endorse the statement of James L. Balmer, in regard to your 
‘Cool and Crisp’ Cucumber. It is all that it is represented to be, and a more 
prolific bearer I never saw in such a dry season as last.” 
JAMES KirByY, Hempstead, L. I. 
“«T planted your ‘Cool and Crisp’ Cucumber on the same day as the Improved 
White Spine, gave them the same treatment, and picked them nine days ahead 
ofthe White Spine. I found them wonderfully prolific, of rich green color, crisp 
and sweet-flavored. I can recommend it as a good cucumber.”
