Cucumbers -G"** 



1 oz. to 50 feet hills ; X lb. to the acre. 



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, very straight and symmetrical. X lb., 15c; 

 lb., 50c. 



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 

 productive and of deep green color, Pkt., 5c; X lb., 15c; 

 lb., 40c 



Long Green. 



Long Green. — This is an old-time popular garden favorite, 

 and is still the leading variety where an extra large fruit is 

 desired. Our carefully selected strain, under favorable con- 

 ditions, produces fruit averaging from twelve to sixteen 

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

 and of excellent quality. This extra selected strain of the 

 original type can be depended upon to produce the true 

 long dark green fruits. Pkt, 5c; X 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 

 ten to twelve 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 Peerless. — This variety was originated by a promi- 

 nent New Jersey grower. It is ten days earlier than the 

 old Long Green, but more productive. The fruit is of a 

 dark green, always straight and smooth, of a medium size, 

 very attractive, and will render great service for market 

 gardeners. X lb., 15.; lb., 50c 



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
